Interesting, I'll give the idea a try.

If I change any ObjC code, I just have to build the test framework again from xcode (or using 'xcodebuild -target TestFramework' ). You could also just run xcodebuild every time from spechelper, but this slows things down  a bit.

It looks to me like I would have to build a custom testing bundle from scratch for each project but that can't be correct.
