Currents

Currents is a cloud-based test reporting and analytics platform for Playwright that provides real-time streaming of test runs, centralized dashboards for logs, screenshots, and videos, and collaboration features to help teams monitor, debug, and analyze their test executions more effectively.

TestDino

TestDino is a Playwright-native AI test reporting platform. It classifies failures, highlights flaky tests, links issues to PRs, posts summaries, and provides release metrics saving hours on end-to-end debugging, all with one-step CI integration and secure, encrypted data.

Which Playwright reporting cuts noise: TestDino or Currents?

Currents makes it easy to track results in real time, but when you need root cause analysis or predictive insights, the picture gets blurry. TestDino brings those missing pieces into focus.

1. Dashboard
Currents
  • Currents doesn’t provide role-specific dashboards. This means QA engineers, developers, and managers all see the same generic view, making it harder to focus on what matters to them.
TestDino

TestDino provides role-based dashboards for QA, developers, and managers showing only the insights that matter and cutting out the noise.

QA Dashboard: Pass/fail stability, flaky test detection, cross-environment insights, PR summaries, and failure categorization (Bug, UI Change, Unstable, Misc).
Developer Dashboard: Branch-level metrics, PR-linked insights, and AI-driven debugging for faster fixes.
Manager Dashboard: Stability trends, recurring issues, CI/CD velocity, and release readiness at a glance.

2. Test Run Insights
Currents
  • Currents provides a flat list of test runs, which forces developers to dig deep into each run to understand issues.
TestDino

TestDino’s Test Runs tab acts as a central hub for all test executions, providing a single source of truth for project results.

It displays test status, branch, environment, and AI-driven labels in CI results, helping teams quickly identify failures and their causes.
Key Sections in TestDino Test Runs:
Summary: Groups failed, flaky, and skipped tests by root cause for faster issue triage.
Specs: Shows a per-file breakdown with each spec’s status, test count, total duration, and detailed drill-downs.
History: Tracks outcomes and runtime trends across recent runs to detect regressions.
Configuration: Lists the full execution context to spot environment or setup differences.
AI Insights: Leverages AI to cluster related errors and highlight recurring failure patterns.

3. Pull Request View
Currents
  • Allure TestOps delivers powerful test case and requirement management with GitHub/GitLab integration, but it doesn’t offer the PR-focused reporting and insights that TestDino is built for.
TestDino

TestDino’s Pull Request view is fully integrated into the development workflow, providing a complete history of all test runs for each PR.

This allows developers to instantly see how their changes affect tests and debug issues efficiently without switching between contexts.

4. AI Insights
Currents
  • Currents doesn’t provide AI-powered insights.
TestDino

TestDino’s AI engine reviews thousands of test runs to identify important failure patterns:

Persistent Failures: High-impact issues that occur repeatedly.
Emerging Failures: New regressions introduced in recent runs.
The Analysis Insights view tracks error messages over time, highlights rising error types, and shows which tests and branches are most affected.

5. Analytics
Currents

Currents is a cloud-based reporting tool for Playwright that streams test runs live. In contrast, it organizes analytics into four clear segments instead of overwhelming users with too many details, so that team can skip the clutter in daily reviews.

1. Launch / Run Overview • Daily launch pass/fail rates • Average execution time per launch • Number of launches, environment tags, metadata
2. Test Case / Automation Details • Ratio of manual vs automated test cases • Longest running / low performing test cases • Custom fields, tags, roles for test cases
3. Trends & Filters • Launch trend over chosen period (days/weeks/months) • Filtering dashboards by tags, owner, environment using AQL • Custom dashboards with widgets
4. Team Context • Metadata stored per launch/test (environment, tags, custom fields) • Dashboards/widgets showing ownership, team or user based metrics
TestDino

TestDino structures analytics into four well-defined categories, providing actionable insights rather than a long, cluttered list. Our approach ensures users can easily interpret data, segmented into Summary, Test Run, Test Case, and Environment.

1. Summary
  • Daily execution trends
  • Flakiness patterns over time
  • Newly detected recurring failures
  • Insights into test retries
2. Test Run
  • Average runtime benchmarks
  • Branch based performance breakdown
  • Efficiency of test execution
  • Speed distribution across runs
3. Test Case
  • Identifies the most failure-prone tests.
  • Differentiates between flaky and stable tests.
  • Surfaces recurring failure patterns.
  • Adds confidence scores for reliability.
4. Environment
  • Compare stability across environments
  • Spot environment linked issues early
  • Track blockers affecting delivery speed
