Bug Description

There is no obvious way of knowing how long it will take to run through a set of tests. I would suggest adding 'test {n} of {total}' somewhere.

It is also unclear whether abandoning the tests halfway through will result in all the answers being lost.

Think this should be medium as it's actually a fairly significant usability issues. Users likely to abandon the test run if they feel like they don't know how much longer it's going to be.

I'm thinking we tote up the number of tests to run at the beginning of the run and display 'X/Total tests run'. One potential problem is that due to certain tests that depend on other tests being run (which may be skipped), the number may not be entirely forecast-able at the beginning of the run.

duping to 333916, I chose that one since it has historic value because of the bug number :)
