This feature has now been implemented. We have updated the tool that we use to build test fixes. We will now write to a log file EGLFixtest.log, located in the non-shared\dropins\EGLFixtest RBD directory, every time a test fix is installed. It shows the APAR number, date, and the plugins impacted.
You should see this log file for V7.5.x and V8.x test fixes which are created after Jan 21. The log file is cumulative. It will not be cleared out when a fix pack is applied, since it's possible that you might have test fixes installed that are not included in the fix pack.
We agree that it would be very helpful if we wrote a log file entry for each test fix that is applied on a machine. We will try to implement this in the near future. It would work for all supported releases of the product.
