You can look at Testing/TemporaryLastTest.log, but usually I just
reproduce the test manually.

Another thing is that you might not have all dependencies (e.g., CTAN
packages, fonts, etc.) for the tests to pass, so you don't know what's
broken and what's not unless you keep a "baseline" reference.

We have documentation in Development.lyx, but I don't know if it's
helpful to you.
