Continuously display progress/status of test jobs?

[David]

Hi,

We use jenkins for long running test executions and are looking for a better way to display progress during a test. At the moment we use the Groovy Post Build plugin for processing the build log after a full test is complete.

Is there any way to somehow update the build page for a specific build/test continuously during the execution of a job? F.x. a job is running a large number of test cases and the build page is continuously updated each time a single test case is complete.

Hope someone knows of a plugin for doing this or can provide some pointers for allowing us to implement it ourselves.

Thanks,
David

BTW it should be noted that we are not running Java Unit testing or anything like that - otherwise this plugin might have been a good option: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Test+In+Progress+Plugin.
