Is the continuous test result available publicly?

On my local tests with mdadm, I need to make changes to the following
tests:

00linear...
00names...
00raid0...
00readonly...
02lineargrow...
03r0assem...
04r0update...
04update-metadata...

The changes are all straightforward (just remove things related to
linear/multipath/faulty).

Thanks,
Song
