We would like to feed a system such as Sonar to visualise code coverage statistics over time. Also, it is a chore to explain why the metrics generated by MS Test and NCrunch are different to various stakeholders.

There are several hurdles to that at the moment.

1. A structured xml format would be simpler to parse than column-delimited.

2. Particularly annoying - you have to remember to hit 'Expand All' before 'Export To File' or you just get a single line summary for the solution. Please could this button export everything? Or add an 'Export All To File' button?

3. Finally, we cannot automate the gathering of these metrics (partly VS's fault for removing macros' but that's not the ideal solution anyway). I'm open to suggestions on this. As it's a continuous test runner and will not be integrated with a build server, we currently have to generate and save these files manually. Some form of regular automated file generation would suffice.

1+2 would get us a lot closer. As I said in 3, I don't really have a solution in mind.


Cheers.
