  What is the best way to see which requests actually caused a failure in a WebTest   Is there some "view" I can use to see the requests that failed As of right now, I have access to the "Test Rsults", but only tells me how many requests failed.  Other than trying to scroll down (potentially hundreds) of request in the WebTest/Requests list, how do I find out which requests have failed, and for what reason   Something like a table with the failed requests and the reason is what I am looking for. Unfortunately there is no way to look at only failed requests. Unfortunately it is too late to add this for this relea ...Show All
