Bug Description

Checkbox allows the user to skip any manual test they are presented with, however the only way to feed back the reason for that action is through a comment attached to the test and this is obviously something that the user has to take a conscious decision to do. It would be better if the skipping process encoded some concrete reason why a test was skipped. The options below are suggested:

* I don't have the required external device for this test (e.g. USB stick, Bluetooth Headset)
* The system I am testing does not have the required hardware/port for this test.
* Other (in this case a reason must be specified using the freeform comment field.
