Some time ago I saw a lib called oodoctest [1]_ . It could be useful.
You could write your tests inside MS Word (or OOo ) docs and then you
could load the tests from there. Including something like that for
dutest is one of my most promising TODOs, but I don't have time for
that right now

Does it help you at least a little ? Is it a bad idea ? Perhaps I'm
missing something ? Is this the kind of things you'r looking for ?
