Jenkins TAP plugin maintainer here. Let me know if you have suggestions to improve the current TAP support in Jenkins, or any ideas.
Not much of a Perl programmer, but I try to validate the plug-in against the output of some Perl lib tests, and have been wanting to spend some time adding another view to the plugin to mimic http://www.spurkis.org/TAP-Formatter-HTML/test-output.html
Now with Node.JS the TAP community got some more users, and there are also tools being created (though not really popular I think) like http://www.taptinder.org/ and https://github.com/substack/tape.
