Hello,

I started to add a log to Autotest to view the list of ran tests.
I added a new button in the Dashboard, it open a new window with a
PluggableListMorph in it.

I have then many questions :
�� - what information should we display in this list ?

Would be cool to show:

- method which triggers Autotest

- list of TestCase run (so we can also manually check the heuristics and improve them)

��

�� - I feel we might need to empty the log sometimes so I would add a
��Clean�� or ��Empty�� button in Log window, is this OK ?

If there's a small log size maybe we don't need this

��

�� - I think we should give a maximum size to the log as it could
become very large, what would be a meaningful max size ? should it go
to a preference ?

You can start with a method which returns a fixed size (like 10). Then if there's a need to adjust the size we can go on preferences. Keep it simple.

Thank you :)

Laurent

Cheers,
