I think that is implemented, yes. See 
http://www.codesourcery.com/public/qmtest/qmtest-snapshot/share/doc/qmtest/html/tutorial/customizing-expectation-databases.html 
for how to use that.

You would need to annotate individual test-runs with values that you can 
then reference in the expectation database. I believe the only 
implementation we provide is via an XML file, but a new extension class 
could be written that fetches expected outcomes from SQL, too.
