Link from Quarantine to Test Result / History

Context
Part of my daily work is ensuring the stability of our CI test runs. I regularly review test results, create quarantines, investigate issues, verify bug fixes, and disable quarantines when tests are stable again.

Currently, the workflow from a test result to its quarantine is simple — there’s a direct link and button for that.
However, the reverse path (from quarantine back to the test or its results) is missing and makes validation slow.


Problem
When reviewing quarantines, I often need to check whether the related test has been fixed and stabilized.
To do this, I currently have to:

  1. Open the quarantine.

  2. Copy the test name.

  3. Open the Test Explorer in a new tab.

  4. Paste and search for the test name.

  5. Open the results in yet another tab. (So I can recycle the second tab for my next search)

  6. Finally, review the test history to decide if the quarantine can be lifted.

This multi-step process is time-consuming and repetitive, especially when managing multiple quarantines daily.


Proposed Solution
Add a direct link from each quarantine entry to:

  • Option A: The Test Explorer, with filters automatically applied for the quarantined test(s).

  • Option B (ideal): If the quarantine applies to a single test, link directly to the test history view — the graph of past runs, which is the most valuable view for verifying stability.


Impact
This feature would:

  • Save several manual steps per quarantine review.

  • Significantly speed up test stability verification.

  • Improve workflow efficiency for anyone managing quarantines.

  • Encourage more frequent and accurate quarantine cleanups.
