Chapter 25. ResultView Revisited — Observing Changes
Our old ResultView will keep displaying red or green even if the underlying Java code changes. We would like the color to be accurate—red if a test fails, green if all tests succeed, and neutral if we don't know. In this chapter we revisit the ResultView to clear the red/green result indication as soon as a Java resource has changed and we no longer know whether the tests will succeed or not. This will allow us to illustrate how to listen to changes to Java elements.
