# Spec Files View

For every run, the Dashboard displays a list of executed spec files. To analyze a specific run:\
**Select the run** → **Choose the “Spec Files” tab** → **Select any spec file from the list**.

When selecting a Spec File, users can view the [Spec File Details](/dashboard/spec-file-status/run-details.md) and access advanced features such as [Spec Files Explorer](/dashboard/test-suite-performance-explorer/spec-files-explorer.md), the list of [**Tests**](#tests), [**Console**](#console), [**Metrics**](#metrics), and [**History**](#history).

## Tests

The list of tests in the Spec Files View includes the [Test Status](/dashboard/tests/test-status.md), the number of attempts, start and end timestamps, duration, number of [Playwright Annotations](/guides/playwright-annotations.md), test owners, and direct access to the test artifacts such as screenshots, videos, traces, and visual diffs (if you have enabled the [Playwright Visual Testing](/guides/playwright-visual-testing.md)).

#### Filters and Controls

The test list can be sorted by **Status**, **Test Title**, **Duration**, **Start Time**, and **Finish Time**. It can also be filtered by [Playwright Annotations](/guides/playwright-annotations.md) and [Test Status](/dashboard/tests/test-status.md) to help narrow down the results.

## **Console**

The Playwright console output displays the result of each test attempt, along with relevant details such as the start and end timestamps, expected status, and the recording URL in Currents.

In case of errors, it provides the error details for each individual attempt. See more details on [Test Status](/dashboard/tests/test-status.md#console-output).

## **Metrics**

The Metrics tab provides a summary of the six key metrics available in the Spec File Explorer: Average Duration, Overall Executions, Suite Size, Failure Rate, Flakiness Rate, and Timeout Rate.\
For more information on these metrics and how the performance charts work, please check [Spec Files Explorer](/dashboard/test-suite-performance-explorer/spec-files-explorer.md#spec-files-explorer-metrics) and [Reference](/dashboard/test-suite-performance-explorer/reference.md#performance-charts).
