When Tests Fail

You can review the latest test run for a test case at any time. Just go to the 'Test Groups' tab, find the test group that you ran, and click the report called 'Test Run Details', or click the custom view link above the record:

This provides a list of all the actions that occurred, along with whereabouts in the database they occurred, and a list of the events that occurred as a consequence. It also displays whether the test was a success, and any explanation (Result Text) for tests that failed. 

Using this information you should be able to determine what went wrong with the test if one failed. For example if may say that an insert event was expected but didn't occur. Perhaps this is because you previously had an event handler that caused a different insert to occur, but that is no longer functioning. 

Keep in mind that a test might also fail because the test relied on data that comes in to the system externally and so cannot be reproduced.
