Each CI platform has a web page corresponding to your
GitHub/BitBucket/... user account that lists builds results. You can
also get notifications by various means including email if there is a
failure. Here's a randomly selected example build log:

https://travis-ci.org/postgresql-cfbot/postgresql/builds/287749152

That particular build happened because a cronjob of mine pushed a
Commitfest patch into a branch on github, and I maintain plenty more
branches here:

https://github.com/postgresql-cfbot/postgresql/branches

Here are the resulting builds:

https://travis-ci.org/postgresql-cfbot/postgresql/branches

Here's a build from a personal development branch of my own, this time
on AppVeyor:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/macdice/postgres/build/1.0.3

As Andrew mentioned, AppVeyor builds using his appveyor.yml with the
addition of test_script that I showed above current fail in "test
tablespace" for some reason that we'll need to sort out, and as I
mentioned you can't yet see the regressions.diff output etc... but
it's a start. This is actually already useful for me, because I
changed a bunch of temporarily file cleanup code and I wanted to
confirm that it would work on Window. That's being exercised in one
of the tests. So far so good.

That's the idea. It's quite similar to the build farm, except that it
tests your stuff *before* it gets committed to master and everyone
shouts at you, and can also be used to test strange experiments and
theories without disturbing anyone else.
