Re: Automatic test results reporting

See email I just sent in reply to James message.

Instead of an API, it might be easier, once we have a "result of the session" page that lists the results about to be submitted, to provide an "export" button that would give the user a copy of the results in some format (CSV, JSON, XML, etc.).
