Maybe this is what you mean (I don't know ZenTest), but how hot would  
it be if someone made an eclipse plugin that did it as a continual  
background task (like, did it per file every time you saved) and  
popped up little "Attention" icons next to files and underlined the  
parts of code that weren't getting hit by unit testing. *drools*

But in the mean time rcov is frickin hot!
