Schema For A Testing Application

I'm working on a testing application. It will run on multiple computers.
Each computer has the same "suite" of tests. The test operator can choose
which tests to run. It is expected that each computer will test several
components many times each to ensure the component is reliable.

One run of all tests against just one component produced an XML log file
over 4000 lines long. A good day of testing on one computer (4 test/hr * 8
hrs * 4k lines/test) is 128,000 lines. Obviously this is too much data to
look through for comparing results. We have to figure out an automated way
to compare e.g. the same component tested on different operating systems.

Unfortunately we didn't do a good job with our first-generation XML Test Log
Schema. It doesn't have even MachineID or TestRunDateTime elements.

I would appreciate Tips, URIs and Strategies for designing a schema that can
easily be loaded into e.g. MS SQL Server 2000 and allow us to compare the
results of a bazillion individual tests. I know I want MachineGUID and
TestGUID...

Thanks!

MachineGUID (assigned on install), TestSuiteGUID (assigned at the start of
each run of selected individual tests) and TestGUID (assigned as each test
runs) may be enough. Thoughts?

Thanks.
