What kind of statistics?  General test related statistics, or statistics specific to your tests?

The whiteboard is place intended for tests to store arbitrary data to be preserved on the test results.  It can be any type of textual or binary data.

But, that is now yet shown on the HTML report.  I believe it'd be very nice to have them shown on the HTML report, but that would require either guessing of the type of data stored, or that the user tells Avocado about it.

This looks like a nice RFC, would you care to describe that in an issue on our GitHub page?  If you need guidance developing the feature, I would definitely like to help.

Thanks,
