[Wtr-general] Integrating TUnit with Excel

[Charley Baker]

Hi Rafael,

  I'm using the test report library you mention to integrate the xml results
into Cruise Control for our continuous integration server. Not sure what
advantage Excel gives you. However, if you must, the simplest path I can
think of would be to use the xml generated by test report and parse it with
Rexml, then dump the results into a spreadsheet. All of the data points
you're looking for are in the xml file. Otherwise, instead of writing your
own runner, you could look at how Alexey has set up his formatters,
htmlformatter, xmlformatter, etc and extend out test report to write your
own formatter for Excel.
