Probably xml?. Are you suggesting to send the XML by some transport other than email? It seems to me that sending the XML using email as a transport is a good idea, rather than say using a REST service. I suggest that email is more likely to get through corporate firewalls. I have worked for companies where all "test" machines were behind a firewall that did not permit arbitrary internet access but did allow access to corporate email gateways. I think you may have worked for the same company :-) Not sure how common this is. > (b) Somewhere to send the test results (subdirectory on the gcov machine?).
