AVA does not show which test timed out, because AVA does not track timeouts per test. What we do is, we reset one global timer every time the test finishes. So what AVA implements is actually a global idle timer. When no new tests have completed during a specified time frame, AVA fails with a timeout message.

Please check out the docs regarding timeouts: https://github.com/avajs/ava#global-timeout.

Although, I agree that this feature would be useful. Related: #583.

I've updated #583 to also print pending tests after a timeout.
