[FEATURE] Make navigation to failed test results easier #350

@FrankTub Thanks for pointing this out; I agree with this being a bit confusing and understand it would be good to link to test failures. Let me think a bit how to make it consistent with what happens when you click on Anomalies. I also wonder about one thing, assuming your business users want to debug mostly failed tests, wouldn't the workflow which starts with the |

@mateuszklimek , my ideal situation would be that I send automatic alerts to end users for their failed tests, then they receive in that mail a direct link to the location where they can find the results of why their test failed and possibly some historical data of that failed test like you display on that tab already. Haven't taken a look at enabling alerting sufficient to know if anything close to it would work. But that would be the ideal scenario. I think you are right about the following.
Here it is only hard for end users to understand where they need to click to get their failed test results, since the |

@mateuszklimek , just gave it another thought and realized the following. All I'm trying to do is alert users that some specific tests have failed and I want them to be able to solve it themselves. To do so they need some data. Ideally they would receive a link in the mail directly to the data, or receive the data in the mail itself. I understand that it would be hard to do so, but that would be the ideal scenario. In our case we host the re_data UI in a S3 bucket in AWS, so we would need a link that we can customize to point to our specific location next to the message in the mail that the test has failed or something. |
Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve
When helping business users navigate in the re_data UI I believe it would be helpfull to display the dbt test name on the
Lineagefingertab similar to what is displayed as themessageon theAlertfingertab. In our use case we run multiple tests on the same table and this can be very confusing for business users as to where they need to click in the UI to find the results of their failed test.They follow the following steps.
Alertfingertab (1).messagecolumn and click on it.Lineagetab, to theTeststab ofLineage.test namecolumn does not contain any descriptive name (2). (Note that in this example it is clear since only one failed test is there, but still the naming of these tests is confusing)(1)
(2)
Describe the solution you’d like
My preferred solution would be that end users can be navigated from the
Alerttab directly to theTestsfingertab, they are not interested in theLineagetab at all. They want to look at why their test failed and they need data for that from theTestsfingertab to understand why.If that is not possible I would like to have more descriptives names for a test on the
Lineagefingertab so that an user can identify on which test to click to get their test results.Describe the alternative you’ve considered or used
Not a clue how to work around this issue so suggestions are welcome.
