<pre>So, it will check elapsed time before continuing to the next test case? Or would we start a JS watchdog timer for each testcase that will abort the entire suite?
I fear that if the real problem is the bots are simply too contended or slow, then a watchdog timer in JS will just get stuck like the test and be ineffective. If it's a flake even on a fast machine, then this seems like a decent mitigation.
I think a separate issue is that we don't get partial test output when a test times out, even if multiple things have been sent back to the test page. It would be nice to get a warning event sent from the test runner when it's about to kill the test so we could flush any buffered test results.</pre>
