canonical-certification-server to view test result

[Samantha Jian-Pielak]

At the end of the test, all tests and test results will be dumped to the console and two .xml files are provided to view test result. Given the tool will be used in CLI environment, it will be much easier to be capable of viewing the test results on the tty or ssh console at the end of the testing at user's selection.

Also, to list the existing test result when resuming the previous test session will be great to have in conjunction with https://bugs.launchpad.net/checkbox/+bug/1260523

This is the console and we're creatively limited in how we can present this information. Still, we can produce a text-mode report and allow the user to page through it using "more" or something similar. Would that be acceptable?

Something more elaborate can certainly be implemented, but it would imply a lot more work.

I think a text mode report (non-HTML or XML) would be fine. No need for anything elaborate.

It WOULD, however, be nice, IMO, if plainbox was a bit less verbose when running tests... it dumps a LOT of stdout/stderr to console while running tests and because it just moves on to the next one so quickly, you never really have time to review anything on screen.

Setting to triaged and medium as we know what could alleviate this and it's not a major need, but would be greatly appreciated.

About the verbosity, I 'm preparing a branch to solve the problem.

To display test results, take a look at this branch (https://code.launchpad.net/~sylvain-pineau/checkbox/test_selection_curses), I could create a new text exporter to populate a similar screen using curses.

The current cli ui is less verbose and shows test results at the end of the testrun. Marking as fix released.
