Evidence feature

Keep every useful clue attached to the failed test

Move from a red CI job to the actual error, artifact, and Jira action without sending teammates through a trail of expired links.

Last updated July 10, 2026

Inspect failed tests with errors, stack traces, screenshots, traces, videos, logs, and Jira issue creation in one workflow.

Direct answer

What is Failure inspection in Testream?

Testream Failure Inspection keeps the failed assertion, error output, stack trace, artifacts, run metadata, and Jira follow-up connected so teams can move from detection to useful action without rebuilding context by hand.

The problem

Failure triage slows down when context is split across CI, chat, and Jira

The cost is not finding that a test failed—it is reconstructing enough evidence to understand and act on it.

What teams gain

  • Inspect errors and stack traces at test level
  • Open screenshots, traces, videos, and logs beside the failure
  • Create a Jira issue with evidence already included

How it works

A clear path from setup to useful evidence.

01

Detect

Open the failed test from the published run or Jira summary.

02

Inspect

Review the error, metadata, history, and available artifacts together.

03

Act

Create or connect a Jira issue without rewriting the failure context.
