Bug Description

Hi,

Writing good tests is a difficult art.

It would be great if one day I could look at some stats from testrepository and
find the tests that fail most frequently, then look at the changes that were made
that caused them to fail.

This would help me determine if they were catching bugs, too tightly bound, or
just preventing changes rather than being useful.

Thanks,

James

A related thing would be tests that fail together, or tests that only fail when another test is run before them.
