Assuming you still have the _time field in the base search, then, on the assumption that the where clause test applies to the data prior to evaluating latest, then

 

| where (resultMessage=="null") OR (Status=="Fail")
| table _time testName Status executed resultMessage 
| stats latest(*) as * by testName

 

will pick the latest one for each testName.  If you do not have _time, then you can create time from the 'executed' field with

 

| eval _time=strptime(executed, "%F %T.%Q")

 

 before the table statement.

Note that your original resultMessage test was wrong as it is checking for =="null" AND NOT - so it will always be true, so you will need to correct according to your requirements. I have removed the redundant part above.

Use the dedup command to remove duplicate events.  It selects the most recent events for each unique value of the given field.

 

base search.....   
| where (resultMessage=="null") OR (Status=="Fail")
| dedup testName
| table testName Status resultMessage
