Despite some odds, I managed to improve the GUI for the ZenMagick unit tests quite a bit. Most importantly, it is now possible to run individual tests (read: methods) of a test case (read: class that extends ZMTestCase).

I have to say that, even though simpletest does allow all sorts of customizations, it’s not very straightforward and logic is not always were I was expecting it. In some cases, it also suffers from the fact that some details (for example line numbers) are not really accessible via the official API. I do hope that this will change in future versions as there is a lot of potential for improvements in that area.

Since the first version of the GUI does not scale well with a third level of dependencies, treeview saved the day!

So, her’s what it looks now:
