You can also more easy see when something broke on a certain machine with a certain configuration.

I don't have the time and the pleasure to compare 9 result-logs. It would be much easier to compare this via an web interface. XML (or especially WDDX) could easily be used to send the results to a website, store and in a database and write a interface to this database. This has already be done (see http://php.nohn.net/autotest-stats.php ) for an example. Regards, Sebastian Nohn -- sebastian@nohn.net - http://www.nohn.net/ PGP Key Available - Did I help you?
