SchemeUnit Proposed Changes:

2.0
  
  [DONE] Allow assertions to record arbitrary information
  about failure.  This has already been implemented in 2.0
  alpha 1.  Breaks compatability with 1.x

  [DONE] Add setup and teardown actions for test-suites.
  Maybe via keyword arguments.  May break compatability with
  1.x

  [DONE] Update GUI for 208.

  [DONE] Release as PlaneT modules in addition to Schematics
  website

  [DONE] Add require/expose macro, aka glassbox testing.  By
  "Richard C. Cobbe" <cobbe at ccs dot neu dot edu>

  ;; Requires a module and exposes some of its unprovided (non-syntax!)
  ;; identifiers.
  ;; USAGE: (require/expose MODULE-NAME (IDS ...))
  ;;   where MODULE-NAME is as in the MzScheme manual (i.e., a standard
  ;;   module spec) and IDS are the un-provided identifiers that you wish to
  ;;   expose in the current module.
  ;; Based on a macro by Raymond Racine (rracine at adelphia dot net) posted to
  ;; plt-scheme in Dec 2003.
  (define-syntax require/expose
    (syntax-rules ()
      [(_ mod (ids ...))
       (begin
         (require mod)
         (define-values (ids ...)
           (let ([ns (module->namespace 'mod)])
             (parameterize ([current-namespace ns])
               (values
                (namespace-variable-value 'ids)...)))))]))


  [DONE as far as possible] If possible improve text-ui to
  display backtraces and additional information

  [DONE] Add Emacs compatible output from the text-ui

  [DONE] Miscellaneous additional assertions:
  - assert-regexp-match
  - assert-not-false

  [DONE] Miscellaneous additional macros:
  - (make-test-suite* suite-name (case-name case-body) ...)

    to reduce typing for the common case of

    (make-test-suite
     suite-name
     (make-test-case
      case-name-0
      case-body-0)
     (make-test-case
      case-name-1
      case-body-1))

  [DONE] Implement fold-tds, ala SSAX, for test-suites.
  This will allow more flexible traversal of test suites,
  and in turn more flexible reporting options

  [DONE] Fix documentation typos

  [DONE] Make test/text-ui write not display arguments

  [DONE Can't see a way of improving this] Better location
  tracking -- make assertions grab their own location

2.1

  Use contracts instead of assertions?

  Make text-ui output easier to read
    - display test suite(s) and test case name
    - simplify output

  Shorten names

  Make sure DrScheme's alpha-renaming works with assert macros

  Short-cuts for common case of a test case that contains
  only a single assertion.  E.g.

    (test-case String equality-pred expected computed)

  Return useful value from test/text-ui, so shell scripts
  can interrogate this value.  E.g.  return
    (and (zero? errors)
         (zero? failures))
  Suggested by Eric Hanchow <offby1@blarg.net>

  Pete Hopkin's bug report (include it)

  Port to PLT v299, SISC, Scheme48 and maybe R5RS.

  Document foldts, run-test, run-test-case, fold-test-results

  Add contracts for make-test-suite and make-test-case

  Make text-ui more configurable.  In particular support
  silent mode

2.2

  Provide more flexible reporting options:
  - timing information
  - log to disk

  Print ancestor suites on failure in text-ui

  Alter make-test-suite* to take setup and teardown actions.

  Improve error handling of setup and teardown
  actions:

  - fold-test-results should catch suite setup and teardown
    failures and halt execution of the subtree.

  - make-test-case should provide better location
    information

  Make tests fail unless they explicitly succeed.  This may
  break compatability.


2.?

  Additional add-on libraries:
  - web testing (I have an existing incomplete framework)
  - WebIt! (ditto)
  - user contributions

  Redevelop GUI and/or integrate w/ PLT's tool
