Research direction

Start by searching the documentation for existing elements and references to testcasecount or the console runner; no specific file is named in the issue. Done means documenting , noting that testcasecount may be 0 with the console runner, and checking whether the other elements are documented.

Description

area:engine

I can find no documentation of this element. The key problem here is that the testcasecount may be invalid (value of 0) depending on the runner used. In particular, it's always 0 when running under the console runner. So we at least need to say that somewhere.

At the same time, someone should check into whether we have documetned the other <start-xxx> elements anywhere.
