[ELE-291] Group and filter tests by tags

[joostboon]

We would love to group our tests based on tags. We have different dimensions (accuracy/completeness/uniqueness/etc.). Now we can see the model tags, but not the test tags.

Visually it would be great if we could see the different test tags in the UI. Ideally as a next step we would love to group/sort by tags.

I also have a use case where I need to be able to send slack alerts for custom tests as over half of our testing for our data mart are custom tests that include business logic and it would be nice to alert if our business logic is failing.

I have the same use case as @joostboon! Would be great if we could use this to group test based on tags

@Maayan-s Does that solve this problem. I have my test tagged like this:

models:
  - name: some name
    tests:
      - some-test:
          tags: "some-tag"

dbt recognizes this tag but it doesn't show up in the elementary ui. We use this tag for tests that we want to include but haven't been fully vetted so it can make our dashboard pretty noisy.

Hi @cooley-hi , the issue here is just what you described - dbt supports adding tags to tests, but Elementary currently ignores these tags and only uses models tags. We want to change that :)

I'm also running into this issue, I'm trying to filter based on business cases, and not every data quality requirement from the source or model applies to the business cases.
