roadrunner is a looping testrunner with environment preloading for test-driven
development.
 
It preloads a standard Zope & Plone test environment compatible with
PloneTestCase. After the first load of the test environment I have been
saving around 25s per test run on my Macbook Pro 2.16.

It effectively eliminates the Plone tax.

The source code for roadrunner is available from a git repository.  We may move this into svn as one of the first tasks to make collaboration easier.

Some Sprint Objectives

- roadrunner is a bit hacky now.  Let's remove some of the unnecessary code.

- automatically run tests when files in your project are changed

- work with other Sprint teams to help them speed up their testing processes using roadrunner where it makes sense
