[Dev] Feedback from TestMaker seminar at DBA InfoPower

[Frank Cohen]

Last Friday DBA InfoPower hosted me to do a 3 hour seminar on  
TestMaker 5. The seminar went very well and TestMaker received  
several proposals for new functions and enhancements to TestMaker.  
Here is a list in no particular order:

1) Installer should also install a TestNode

2) Eugene of DBA InfoPower noted: "TestMaker 4 was more direct at  
recording a test and paying it back." He said the TestScenario XML is  
daunting. I offered a GUI to edit the TestScenario and they said that  
would be ok-at-first.

3) The Performance Comparison Utility (PCU)
a) The PCU needs to show charts and reports (tables)
b) The PCU - Summary info should use drop-down checkbox list instead  
of drop-down/list

4) TestScenario - threshold of success/fail to stop the test

5) Need to illustrate or document a validator DPL to validate results  
within a business workflow

6) Need to illustrate or document putting new DPL jar files onto  
classpath to avoid recompiling TOOL

7) Query to TM through PAAS to return a list of currently running  
TestScenarios.

I will add these to http://bugs.pushtotest.com as requested  
enhancements for TestMaker 5.1.
