Hello,
There was a short discussion on IRC few days ago about how should we handle
progress bar in the header for QML-native tests in Checkbox-Touch.

I want to gather your opinion about the subject.

Let's consider case when we have 10 jobs. Progress bar during 5th job should
look similar to this:
[####|     ] 5/10

If we let native tests display progress bar in header we have following
options:

1. Let it display progress of going through the list of jobs.

2. Let it display progress of within the job (current step)
   For instance, consider having a job checking if gyroscope sensor works
ok.
   One of the steps would be to tilt left, one to tilt right, and so on.
   Let's assume the job consists of 6 of those steps.
   In this approach header progress bar would display [###|      ] 3/6 on
third
   step, although there are 10 jobs total.
2-alt. Let it display progress of current job (internal) as an extension to
   'ordinary' progress bar. I.e.
     job: [####|     ] 5/10
    step: [###|      ] 3/6
3. (looney) Let it gather info about steps from all tests, sum them up, and
   display one progress bar, accounting for all steps. E.g. 10 jobs, 8 of
them
   single-step and 2 of them 6-step.:
    [####|     ] 7/20

This only affects checkbox-touch, as header progress bar is not present in
other front-ends (yet? ;-)

I personally opt for 1. because it keeps everything straight-forward (for
user
and implementation).
