Creator here.
Out of the box, it supports several languages and test styles:
- Java with junit3 and junit4
- Ruby with test/unit
- Python with PyUnit
It is easily extensible for any programming language and test style.

Very interesting!

#5So is TestLess only for automated tests? Seems like it is.

#6TestLess? Like, without testis?

Ha!
The name TestLess was chosen to imply that without redundant tests, you will be testing less.
Unfortunately I did not become aware of the colloquial meaning until after naming the product.

Even though TestLess is intended for automated tests, the technology behind it can be used to compare manual tests.
In fact, labs results using several manual test corpora show that it is well-suited to compare manual tests as is. You will only need to write a TestDetector for such tests and your off to the races.
