What problem does this feature solve?

I'm working on an application that I test against multiple versions of a database server. So the tests run 5-10 times each time I test. After looking at the output a few times, a more condensed version of the output would be interesting to me.

Describe the solution you'd like

1. Eliminate the line that says "hottest v0.0.1 execute 'go test'"
2. Eliminate the blank line after it.
3. I LOVE the dots.....!
4. Compress the results down to a single line. Or maybe only do this if all tests pass? Maybe something like this?

Results: 265/0/0 (30s)

That is total tests, failed, and skipped. I really mostly care about the failed number, but the others are kind of nice to see. Printing the duration in a more compact format would be nice.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Maybe a flag for verbose vs condensed output? Or a JSON config file? I run these inside batch files so putting the same flag in each time isn't a problem. But then the parameters don't match go test. I don't know :-)

Additional context

• I really, really like the dots as progress. I've been using that in some CLI stuff I've written recently.
• I like the terseness of the test failure message. It is very easy to see. My app can write lots of debugging stuff and I'm glad you discarded that.
• I realize you just released this (5 hours ago?!?!) but it's already helpful to me!
