To debug failed tests in a Buildkite CI/CD pipeline, you can retrieve execution details directly from the Buildkite Test Engine to pinpoint specific test names, failure reasons, and expanded backtraces for diagnosis.

Retrieving test failure backtraces requires a valid Buildkite API token for authentication, along with the specific test suite identifier and the unique test run ID to fetch detailed error messages and stack traces.

Buildkite test suite failures can be diagnosed by fetching execution details to analyze failure patterns, environmental factors, and relevant code locations, helping you quickly identify the root cause of the broken tests.

Yes, you can get a list of specific failed tests from a Buildkite test run by querying the Test Engine with your suite name and run ID to pinpoint exactly which tests failed within the execution.

The best way to analyze test execution details for CI/CD test failures is to fetch expanded backtraces and error messages from the Test Engine, enabling you to examine environmental factors and understand failure patterns.
