This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
The test results panel (which looks great btw, the gradient in the progress bar, wow!) does not show the 'caused by' from a stacktrace (shown for failing tests). In our project we wrap a lot of exceptions to runtime exceptions. The underlying exception is not available in the gui. The runtime exception itself does not report much usefullness.

I would just add that not being able to see base exceptions (and other sysout output) makes building tests using JUnit in Netbeans quite painful (I'm using 8.0.2). Basically the work-around is to either use debug or build them as normal class under Source Packages. Hence voted for.
