Not sure without confirming with someone in the FCA welding group, but a lot of processes for welding refer to AWS D1.1 specification. Here is a link for an older version to give more insight to good and bad welds. Knowing a certified weld inspector can help determine a structurally good or bad weld. However, that decision is typically based off the weld specification.
Weld failures such as stress risers and porosity is another animal all together. Weld cleanliness (p172, as attached) is important in welding and most codes state to clean the weld following which will remove the slag etc.
