Would it make sense to implement it like the alerts view, where each test name/header has a 'show all subtests' checkbox and each platform of a test has its own checkbox. So subtests will be fetched for all platforms of a test or for selected platforms only? And rather than trying to show subtests on the main compare view after the user selects 'show subtests' for specific tests, what about having a 'compare subtests' button that will take you to the compare subtests view? This might be a cleaner way of doing it rather than trying to show subtests on the main compare view page and would eliminate the need to click into specific subtests per each platform/test. So this would essentially be a customizable subtests view.
