Here's an example Python script used by the VTK developers to more easily
track down failing tests:

In general, it is a goal of ours to make it easier to access the
information in the CDash database.  We've made some progress on this
recently, but it will still be some time before this effort is complete.

Take a look at the documentation here:

I'm not 100% sure, but the "revisionstatus" task might give you the
information that you're seeking.
