# 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 [run-details](https://docs.currents.dev/dashboard/spec-file-status/run-details "mention") and access advanced features such as [spec-files-explorer](https://docs.currents.dev/dashboard/test-suite-performance-explorer/spec-files-explorer "mention"), 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](https://docs.currents.dev/dashboard/tests/test-status "mention"), the number of attempts, start and end timestamps, duration, number of [playwright-annotations](https://docs.currents.dev/guides/playwright-annotations "mention"), 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](https://docs.currents.dev/guides/playwright-visual-testing "mention")).

#### 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](https://docs.currents.dev/guides/playwright-annotations "mention") and [test-status](https://docs.currents.dev/dashboard/tests/test-status "mention") to help narrow down the results.

## **Console**&#x20;

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.&#x20;

In case of errors, it provides the error details for each individual attempt. See more details on [#console-output](https://docs.currents.dev/tests/test-status#console-output "mention").
