> Failing on the first error for unittest is a feature. because you are not supposed to even commit it if it is failing, so no need to fancy graphics and reports.
A test suite may run for a long time and bailing out at first failure is a very stupid thing to do. It may be nice to have it as an option but not the only way of doing it.
Even a humble test suite might take 5 minutes to run, going to grab some coffee and coming back to see the first test fail would be a bad thing. A big test suite might take hours on a CI server, having it fail on the first test would be a major waste of time.
And with a modern distributed version control, there's no reason why you shouldn't commit code (not to the master branch!) that doesn't pass tests. To share it with your team mates or push the code to be tested on a CI server, for example.
