Argues to put all test results in CouchDB and demonstrates a simple single‑page app (node‑couch‑app, Samy JS, Futon Samy branch) loading ~3,000 run documents, using map/reduce views keyed by report type, system and numeric build ID to get sortable history. Builds a new‑failure detection view that queries two most recent builds per test to flag regressions; demo mostly works but has a filename‑emission bug that inflates “new” failures.
