# Test Retry & Comparable Outcome Evidence Report (`h_murdock/test-retry-cohort-evidence`) Actor Review archived individual test attempts in exact revision/environment cohorts. Trace retry recovery, mixed terminal outcomes and unresolved duplicate/gapped/skipped chains. Mapped CSV or JSON; downloadable reports; no CI access. - **URL**: https://apify.com/h_murdock/test-retry-cohort-evidence.md - **Developed by:** [Gilad Ronen](https://apify.com/h_murdock) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing $0.25 / completed report This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/actors/running/actors-in-store.md#pay-per-event ## What's an Apify Actor? An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Test Retry & Comparable Outcome Evidence Report Turn archived individual test attempts into a traceable report for weekly QA triage or a retry-policy review. Supply normalized metadata as JSON rows or mapped CSV. The Actor identifies complete retry chains that failed or errored before passing, comparable executions with mixed terminal outcomes, and evidence that cannot support a resolved conclusion. This is useful when results are retained in exports or a small history database and you need a downloadable handoff. Playwright, Trunk, ReportPortal and CI dashboards already offer test reporting; a SQL query or spreadsheet may also be enough. This Actor provides a bounded one-shot report without installing a persistent reporting service. It does not access CI, execute tests, fix failures, quarantine tests, infer causes or prove stability. ### Input Declare `auditId`, `windowStart`, `windowEnd`, `asOf` and `observationCoverage`. Times use real RFC3339 instants with seconds and a known offset, such as `2026-10-02T10:00:00Z` or `2026-10-02T12:00:00+02:00`. The start is inclusive, the end exclusive, and `windowStart < windowEnd <= asOf` is required. Observations after `asOf` reject the input. Each observation contains: - `recordId`, `project`, `testId`, `revision`, `environment`, `logicalExecutionId`: literal strings, preserving leading zeros. - `attemptIndex`: zero-based integer; `status`: `pass`, `fail`, `error` or `skipped`. - `observedAt`, `chainCoverage`: `complete`, `incomplete` or `unknown`. - `sourceReference`: an opaque archive reference. It is displayed as text, never fetched. Use `observations` OR nonempty `observationsCsv`, never both. Remove the prefilled array when using CSV. CSV needs the eleven canonical headers or a complete `observationColumns` mapping. Comma, semicolon and tab delimiters are supported. BOM and quoted fields are accepted; duplicate, empty, unmapped or ragged columns reject. Only normalized metadata is accepted; JUnit XML and raw logs are not parsed. Limit: 5,000 observations and 4 MB total JSON. Strings are at most 160 characters without surrounding whitespace or control characters. ### Interpretation A comparable cohort is the exact `project + testId + revision + environment` tuple. A logical execution additionally has its own `logicalExecutionId`; give a fresh ID to an independent execution, retain the same ID for its retries. Environments and revisions are never treated as equivalent automatically. Resolved chains require complete scope and chain coverage assertions, unique record IDs and attempt identities, contiguous indexes starting at zero, nondecreasing observation times, no skipped observations, no observations outside the audit window, and no attempt after a pass. Duplicate/conflicting rows, gaps, missing attempt zero, skipped rows and unknown coverage remain unresolved. Coverage is your assertion and cannot be verified against CI. `retry-recovered` means a complete observed chain ended in pass after fail/error attempts. Mixed terminal outcomes mean complete comparable executions include both passed and failed/error endings. Neither establishes a cause or a flaky probability. All observed passes do not prove stability. No in-window evidence produces an unresolved report. Attempt counts use raw included observation records, including duplicates. Execution counts use distinct exact cohort/execution groups and include unresolved chains. They are separate denominators; this Actor does not publish a misleading combined failure rate. ### Output, billing and data One dataset item contains the full summary, execution rows, cohort summaries, findings and original observation ledger. Download complete JSON, execution CSV, findings CSV and escaped standalone HTML. References remain traceable to input positions; the HTML has no external scripts. Formula-like CSV values are neutralized for spreadsheet use. Reports reaching 8 MB JSON or 9 MB for any export are refused before the report event is charged; split a large batch. The price is $0.25 per completed report, including platform usage, with no startup or per-row event. Invalid input or insufficient report budget produces no charged report. A fresh run is a new billable report. Resurrection of the same run preserves one dataset item and one report charge. If export writing is interrupted, partial files may exist without a charge; the run rewrites them on recovery. Billing ambiguity is reported as a failure for inspection, not silently treated as success. Use authorized, pseudonymous metadata. Cloud run inputs and results are retained by Apify and are accessible under your account's storage permissions. Avoid personal information, credentials, source code and sensitive log bodies. # Actor input Schema ## `auditId` (type: `string`): Opaque audit reference; preserve literal strings and leading zeros. ## `windowStart` (type: `string`): Real RFC3339 instant with seconds and known explicit offset (Z or +/-HH:mm); optional three-digit milliseconds. Require windowStart < windowEnd <= asOf. Audit end is exclusive; future observations reject the input. ## `windowEnd` (type: `string`): Real RFC3339 instant with seconds and known explicit offset (Z or +/-HH:mm); optional three-digit milliseconds. Require windowStart < windowEnd <= asOf. Audit end is exclusive; future observations reject the input. ## `asOf` (type: `string`): Real RFC3339 instant with seconds and known explicit offset (Z or +/-HH:mm); optional three-digit milliseconds. Require windowStart < windowEnd <= asOf. Audit end is exclusive; future observations reject the input. ## `observationCoverage` (type: `string`): Caller declaration covering this entire project/test/revision/environment audit window. Incomplete or unknown makes all chain interpretations unresolved; the Actor cannot verify CI completeness. ## `observations` (type: `array`): Supply 1–5,000 metadata rows OR CSV, never both. Fields: recordId, project, testId, revision, environment, logicalExecutionId, attemptIndex (zero-based integer), status (pass/fail/error/skipped), observedAt, chainCoverage (complete/incomplete/unknown), sourceReference. Strings are opaque and <=160 chars. Exact project/test/revision/environment defines comparable cohorts. Duplicate IDs/attempt identities, missing zero, gaps, skipped/partial chains remain unresolved. No JUnit XML, CI calls or logs are interpreted. ## `observationsCsv` (type: `string`): Remove observations array to use nonempty CSV. Canonical eleven headers or complete mapped header set; BOM, quoted values supported. No empty, duplicate, unmapped or ragged columns. No URL fetch. Entire JSON <=4 MB. ## `observationColumns` (type: `object`): Optional complete mapping of every canonical observation field to a distinct header. Canonical mapping may accompany arrays; custom mapping requires CSV. ## `csvDelimiter` (type: `string`): Optional CSV delimiter. Omitted means comma; semicolon/tab requires CSV. ## Actor input object example ```json { "auditId": "weekly-2026-10-03", "windowStart": "2026-10-01T00:00:00Z", "windowEnd": "2026-10-03T00:00:00Z", "asOf": "2026-10-03T06:00:00Z", "observationCoverage": "complete", "observations": [ { "recordId": "001", "project": "web", "testId": "checkout-total", "revision": "commit-001", "environment": "chromium-ci", "logicalExecutionId": "execution-a", "attemptIndex": 0, "status": "fail", "observedAt": "2026-10-02T10:00:00Z", "chainCoverage": "complete", "sourceReference": "archive/001" }, { "recordId": "002", "project": "web", "testId": "checkout-total", "revision": "commit-001", "environment": "chromium-ci", "logicalExecutionId": "execution-a", "attemptIndex": 1, "status": "pass", "observedAt": "2026-10-02T10:01:00Z", "chainCoverage": "complete", "sourceReference": "archive/002" }, { "recordId": "003", "project": "web", "testId": "checkout-total", "revision": "commit-001", "environment": "chromium-ci", "logicalExecutionId": "execution-b", "attemptIndex": 0, "status": "error", "observedAt": "2026-10-02T10:02:00Z", "chainCoverage": "complete", "sourceReference": "archive/003" }, { "recordId": "004", "project": "web", "testId": "checkout-total", "revision": "commit-001", "environment": "chromium-ci", "logicalExecutionId": "execution-c", "attemptIndex": 0, "status": "pass", "observedAt": "2026-10-02T10:03:00Z", "chainCoverage": "complete", "sourceReference": "archive/004" }, { "recordId": "005", "project": "web", "testId": "checkout-total", "revision": "commit-001", "environment": "chromium-ci", "logicalExecutionId": "execution-d", "attemptIndex": 0, "status": "fail", "observedAt": "2026-10-02T10:04:00Z", "chainCoverage": "complete", "sourceReference": "archive/005" }, { "recordId": "006", "project": "web", "testId": "checkout-total", "revision": "commit-001", "environment": "chromium-ci", "logicalExecutionId": "execution-d", "attemptIndex": 2, "status": "pass", "observedAt": "2026-10-02T10:06:00Z", "chainCoverage": "complete", "sourceReference": "archive/006" }, { "recordId": "007", "project": "web", "testId": "checkout-total", "revision": "commit-001", "environment": "chromium-ci", "logicalExecutionId": "execution-e", "attemptIndex": 0, "status": "skipped", "observedAt": "2026-10-02T10:07:00Z", "chainCoverage": "complete", "sourceReference": "archive/007" }, { "recordId": "008", "project": "web", "testId": "checkout-total", "revision": "commit-002", "environment": "chromium-ci", "logicalExecutionId": "execution-f", "attemptIndex": 0, "status": "pass", "observedAt": "2026-10-02T10:08:00Z", "chainCoverage": "complete", "sourceReference": "archive/008" }, { "recordId": "009", "project": "web", "testId": "checkout-total", "revision": "commit-001", "environment": "chromium-ci", "logicalExecutionId": "execution-g", "attemptIndex": 0, "status": "pass", "observedAt": "2026-09-30T10:09:00Z", "chainCoverage": "complete", "sourceReference": "archive/009" } ], "observationColumns": { "recordId": "recordId", "project": "project", "testId": "testId", "revision": "revision", "environment": "environment", "logicalExecutionId": "logicalExecutionId", "attemptIndex": "attemptIndex", "status": "status", "observedAt": "observedAt", "chainCoverage": "chainCoverage", "sourceReference": "sourceReference" }, "csvDelimiter": "," } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): One complete report with execution chains, comparable cohorts, findings and source observation ledger. ## `json` (type: `string`): No description ## `evidence` (type: `string`): No description ## `findings` (type: `string`): No description ## `html` (type: `string`): Download escaped standalone HTML and open locally. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
