Best product/practice for aggregating mix test results from CI systems

This is rather a broad question, so let me start with some background.

Lets say that we had a customer, the customer wanted a means of viewing project progress - meaning modules, tests, passing tests, failing tests, and test coverage.

So what we implemented was a system whereby every time the CI system ran the test results were parsed, and uploaded to a web server somewhere and the aggregate test results were rendered into a html table.

This was very ad-hoc, and quite ugly. Has anyone used a product that provided a nicer, standard way of achieving the same thing?

Why is the customer monitoring such developer-specific concerns rather than being interested in a more product-oriented set of release notes or change logs? This is a strange thing to solve for, IMO. It feels micro-manage-y, since those things (especially test coverage) rarely speak to “does this provide good utility to me?”

Most orgs don’t expose i.e. internal task-tracking data to their customers, but a more curated and high level roadmap. I don’t know if higher fidelity would be productive. This feels like a similar decision to face.

I have found OpenCov which is even written in Elixir, but I haven’t tested it out yet.

It’s for the case where we have to overhaul a big financial system that has major performance/reliability issues, and NO automated testing (that’s a LOT more common than you’d think haha).

We aren’t tasked to implement new functionality, just lots of bug fixes, rewriting, and optimisations.

I agree, this would not be something you’d bother sharing with the client in the usual case - developers tend to be self regulating.
