Currently there are two spinning cogs but after a while it looks as the though it may have timed out. Would be helpful to see a progress bar or percentage complete.

we don't really have a way to determine how much time the whole process will take, hence it would hard to give a progress bar; but there are several ideas already on how to make the page more reactive; in particular, I've been looking at getting the page updated "live" as network requests are being made and responded to, which should help significantly in showing that stuff is happening.

another idea I had was that we should show which tests are running at any time, and in particular, show some small hit when a test has finished running but no issue has been found

Right - even without knowing the remaining duration it would be helpful to show the number of tests done/remaining.
