I'll double-check this.  I keep getting my plot data messed up.
I believe it's because the test numbering re-sets every time
I build a new docker container.

I'm considering either putting some of the info from /home/jenkins/fuego/jobs
into /userdata as well, or adding a manual tool to sync nextBuildNumber
when a new container is deployed.

OK - that's interesting.   Putting extra information in the Jenkins interface
would be really useful.  I'd like to figure out how to get direct links to the
test log file for a particular test run.  The logs are sitting there under
/var/lib/jenkins/userContent/fuego.logs, which is visible via the web
server interface.  But it would be convenient to have a direct link.

However, with regard to the JTA-CIAT solution, I'm not an XML fan. 
I'm reminded me of an old saying:
"Sometimes, when a developer is faced with a technical problem, they
decide to solve it using XML.  Now they have 2 problems."  :-)

Thanks.

I've been toying with converting some results to markdown, for
another front end I've been experimenting with.
This might work for reports as well, if we can settle on something
that works for both online (web) and printed (pdf) docs.

Another thing would be to color-code the logs, with some post-processing.
Scanning visually through the Jenkins console logs for the Fuego error
is time consuming. This could be helped by a post-processor that just
added '<font color="red">' and '</font>' around some Fuego messages.
