No problem to add a new component, but I'm not sure to understand your 
interface. So maybe I will tell rubbish.

ATestContainer -> it's actually the parent class for all tests?

UnitTest -> Why this class? And why do you have to instanciate it? If it 
is just there to run all the test, I suggest mergin UnitTest and 
ATestContainer, and just make a static method "Run()" to run all the 
unit tests in the exported classes inheriting the new "UnitTest".

As for the GUI, I think it should be be extern to the tested project and 
merged into the IDE.

The result of the tests should be provided to the standard output in a 
standard format that will be displayed by your GUI in the IDE.

The unit test will be run by forcing the startup class run by the 
interpreter to "UnitTest".

What do you think about that? Does it raise any problem?
