Agreed; the as-is situation is poor. CircleCI is the only CI/CT system I've encountered which doesn't let you explore the tests it's just done.

What developers want/need is to be able to inspect all aspects of the results of their build, and they need to do that immediately.

Having to export the test result files as an artifact is a workaround, yes, but it's a nasty one that we shouldn't have to resort to.

PS. While the "insights" facility is useful, the results there are not immediate (they're delayed by hours) so it's only useful for examining overall trends of past tests rather than "the tests from my build that completed 2 seconds ago".

This is very useful, I spent a long time scratching my head on why the test summary only gives the number of passing test.
