Dear Goran,
I am with you on this one. Having broken tests visible, but correctly categorised is key to getting things sorted IMHO. I dont think that hiding things away on mantis is not visible enough.
You might like to try my improvements to TestRunner and SUnit which implement these changes. You can try it by executing.
Installer fixBug: 5639.
best regards

Ok, IMHO this is all about classification of tests. Perhaps someone has already proposed the following but how about:
- If there is a bug and someone authors a test to show it and it enters
the image (lets ignore *that* particular question for 3 seconds - many of course argue that it should not enter the image unless accompanied with a fix), why not mark it as "has never worked" - or something along those lines?
That way we can keep all *working* (not marked) tests green and at the same time have a list of non working tests (those marked) that typically are all red. When something is fixed and turned green we remove the marker.
Sure, this may be a daft idea :), just wanted to mention it.
regards, Göran
