[Webtest] [webtest][JIRA] Created: (WT-118) Run-time Version info for WebTest

[Denis N. Antonioli (JIRA)]

Run-time Version info for WebTest 
----------------------------------

         Key: WT-118
         URL: http://webtest-community.canoo.com/jira/browse/WT-118
     Project: WebTest
        Type: New Feature
    Reporter: Denis N. Antonioli


Copy to the report xml the implementation title and version from webtest's jar.
That same information could afterward be displayed for example in the footer
of the html report.

I see two possibilities
(1) Add the information to the summary of the report.

This would add following declaration to results.dtd:

<!ATTLIST summary
    Implementation-Title CDATA "Canoo WebTest"
    Implementation-Version CDATA "development"


This implies that all the test runs in a report use the same webtest version.
Although this is at first reasonable, this may not be the case
if reports are merged over a many days, weeks, ... or aggregated over
different test systems.

(2) Add the information to each testresult.
This would change this declaration of results.dtd:

<!ATTLIST testresult
    testspecname CDATA #REQUIRED
    location CDATA #REQUIRED
    starttime CDATA #REQUIRED
    endtime CDATA #IMPLIED
    succesfull ( yes | no ) #REQUIRED
    Implementation-Title CDATA "Canoo WebTest"
    Implementation-Version CDATA "development"



This second solution allows reports to be aggregated in all cases,
but at the cost of slightly larger report files.



PLAN

+ Implement 1st proposal. Handling many reports is a different story ;-)

+ Hard-code a ant property: webtest.version, as proposed by Paul.

+ Print the version to the log at the end of a test run, as suggested by Marc.
