We were talking about a tester that does periodic long running tests off svn trunk, and reports the results. Individual developers are not directly involved.
Even that is tremendously useful. Once you identify a regression, it is easy to bisect and pinpoint the offending patch, which also locates the author.
You're talking about some sort of testsuite that can be distributed to all developers and reasonably run before every patch is submitted, which is a significantly different beast.I'm pretty certain the proposed tests would not be suitable for routine use by the majority of developers are part of normal developers. They will be too large, probably take a long time to run, and contain proprietary software that can't be redistributed.
There's no need to start at the screen while the test is running. Proprietary software can be worked around by having the user provide a CD image and licensing keys in a configuration file.
-- I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this signature is too narrow to contain.
