Same idea, different stylesheet layout:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
	<xsl:output method="html"/>
	<xsl:template match="test">
		<table>
			<xsl:apply-templates select="testcase[1]"
mode="header"/>
			<xsl:apply-templates/>
		</table>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="testcase" mode="header">
		<tr>
			<xsl:apply-templates select="@*" mode="header"/>
		</tr>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="testcase/@*" mode="header">
		<th>
			<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
		</th>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="testcase">
		<tr>
			<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
		</tr>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="testcase/@*">
		<td>
			<xsl:value-of select="."/>
		</td>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

If you're just using the stylesheet once or twice for a small dataset
that won't change much over time, Alice's stylesheet is a shorter and
easier to implement. If you're going to be doing more with it and plan
to change it over time, a stylesheet like the one above will be easier
to change and maintain.

Hi, Rasha:

  If you just want to output it as a HTML table, you can create a table
that shapes like what you described.

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>Name</td>
    <td>Result</td>
    <td>Comment</td>
  </tr>
  <xsl:for-each select="test/textcase">
  <tr>
     <td><xsl:value-of select="./@name"/></td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="./@result"/></td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="./@comment"/></td>
  </tr>
  </xsl:for-each>
</table>

Give it a shot. Good luck!
