Not particularly.

If you call inspect() in your unit tests, the results (assuming you
print them out with printHTML.trackInfo(); see the example at
?inspect) will end up in packagename.Rcheck/tests/results/index.html
(unless you specify a different output directory with the baseDir
argument to printHTML.trackInfo().
