Ideally yeah, I'd like to see the verbose (even "-x") log of the failed test. But even an indication of a failure is enough that I know I can start digging (and bonus if I can then dig into the log with a script and parse it myself).

Thanks, I may poke around that. In this particular case, though, I was wondering about the Azure Pipelines builds that Dscho has put together.

Mostly I just want to see the status of my own topics (ideally as soon as they're available, but even polling to get them within a few hours would be OK). I run the tests locally, of course, but sometimes problems show up on other platforms.
