One small suggestion,
I used to store test conditions and results in log files, and then write parsers 
to read the results.  The formats kept changing (add more conditions/results!) 
and maintenance was a pain.

Now, in addition to a text log file, I write a file in pickle format containing 
a dict of all test conditions and results.  Much more convenient.
