Yesterday and today were both spent working with my Dad on changing the nature in which FitNesse deals with suites. In the past, FitNesse would save suite pages (a page that runs many test pages) as a massive file with all of the results from each page inside of it, as well display a suite page as a summary of all the test page results and then all the test results below that. So anytime you ran a fairly large suite you would end up with this massive page with tons and tons of results on it. You would also get a history file for just the suite, and it would contain this same huge mass of information.
Now, we have changed FitNesse so that when it saves the suite page's history, it actually saves the history for all the individual test pages and only saves the links to those pages in the suite history file. It also only displays the suite's results as a summary of the individual test page's results, and then links to each of those pages. This strategy makes more sense, and saves memory since the browser no longer needs to save this super huge suite page.
