Description

Report is now plain, which means that you cannot "overview" whole list of checks and assume which one is whole failed, and which one contains errors in steps.

Its very important for step-dependent runtime, where stepA is the function which performs authorization, purpose of stepB is to click several times in order to go to the subservice on the website, stepC contains steps for sanity checks, etc.

My tests contains around 20-30 steps, so the report looks unreadable. Is it possible to shorten levels by package/module/class/function and then collapse by click the button like "+"?
