Description

Transferred from http://code.google.com/p/scalacheck/issues/detail?id=83
#82 requests a timeout for any particular test. It would also be nice if Test.Params had an option for max duration of the entire testing run. For example, instead of specifying minSuccessfulTests and maxDiscardedTests, I'd like to just specify that testing go for 8 hours. There are any number of ways this feature could interact with the other parameters, as discussed on the mailing list. All would be fine with me!

Research direction

Start by reading Test.Params and the referenced #82 request, then review the mailing-list discussion about how a maximum total duration should interact with minSuccessfulTests and maxDiscardedTests. Done means the behavior and parameter interactions are clearly defined and the requested duration-based testing option is implemented.
