My suggestion is still to get a portal inside OOo, where all TestTool
results are collected. Then a comparison is possible between different
platforms, languages and versions. Only this bring the feedback you
needed. If you run a test with 20 errors and 50 warnings, does not say
anything. Because all tests should run without any error! Each other
result needs analysis, and this is only possible with a comparison in
such a database or with the result files of the testcase.

And as I often wrote, the resources in Sun QA are very limited. We
will provide a mentor for this project, but the work have to be done
by the community.

This was a project at the last Google Summer of Code, but it wasn't
accepted. Then it was discussed on last OOoCon in Lyon and after that
it doesn't have any priority.

So if you need such tooling, find someone who can realize this project.
