How to comment on Jenkins build failed results

Question

I have a big testing team and there are so many tests fails on Jenkins almost everyday. Is there any way to comment on failed tests/build to see which failed test was taken care by any tester? This way its easy to track if anyone working on it instead of going and asking them in person.

Answer 1

Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but if you go the page for a particular build, you can click "Edit build information" and add comments for the build. Any comments you enter will show up at the top of the build page as well as in the Build History section on the job page.

Also we use the junit plugin and that does allow you to add a description on any level of the test results (package, class, method). If you're using the junit plugin, look for the "Add Description" link toward the upper right hand of the page.
