At the time we looked at various testing system but all of them fell 
short one way or another thus we decide to settle on something reporters 
where familiar with as an short stop until we found or came up with 
something better and we had couple of ideas how that should look like 
which well let's say was quite different from the traditional tcms.

In any case this discussion and how it can be improved belongs on the 
-test list where the QA community resides...
