As far as other languages go, Ruby and Python support are probably going
to exist for KDevelop 4.1. Other languages are not planned so far, so
they'll only be done when somebody starts to work on them (a parser for
both Java and C# exists already)

This should integrate with the (existing, but probably still very basic)
run interface we have currently.

For this you might want to port the filecreate plugin from kdevelop3.

Thats really a good idea, we really need more auto-configuration in
KDevelop.

So, to conclude, I think the given points can make up enough work for a
GSoC project. Especially getting a good design on the report view that
makes it usable from future plugins that support other testing
frameworks.
