Change icons to convey information

[JayBazuzi]

We love your test report so much that we spent our mob/ensemble session proposing ways we think could make it better.

Problem

Color draws my eye. In the following screenshot my eye is brought to the red Failed ❌, even though there are no failures.

Proposed Solution

Failing tests

Only show ❌ if there are failures:

Skipped tests

• Change the icon from ⏭️ to ⚠️

The yellow draws my eye more, and lets me know this is something that could be a problem. It is also more consistent with coloring of other test frameworks.

• Only show skipped icon if there are skipped

Passing tests

Communicate more information by adding an additional icon:

• ✅: Everything passed with no failures
• ☑️: Some tests passed and some tests failed
• <No icon>: There were no passing tests.

Bonus - no tests run

If no tests run, use ❌. Notice how this compares to the last Passing tests example; we like this better.

Thank you very much @JayBazuzi and everyone else linked at the bottom for highlighting these changes.

Really appreciate the suggestions and I'll look into adopting parts (if not all) proposals.
