To view the details about a task, click on it in the list. The GUI displays the task details in the selected task pane.

Refer to Selected Task Pane for a description of the task information that is displayed.

The history pane displays a list of tasks that:

Each entry in the list contains a code indicating the current state of the task and additional information about the state of the task. A task in the history list will be in one of the following states:

Current State Description
CONN host:port This state shows that the JavaTest Agent has an open connection to JavaTest, at the specified network address, and that the JavaTest Agent is waiting for a request to be sent over the connection. If the JavaTest Agent is running in active mode, it will wait until JavaTest sends the request. If the agent is running in passive mode, this state will usually appear only temporarily because JavaTest will normally initiate a connection and then immediately send the request. The host will normally be identified by its host name; if JavaTest cannot determine the host name, the IP address of the host will be shown instead.
EXEC tag This state shows that the JavaTest Agent is executing a task on behalf of JavaTest. The tag is an identification of the task supplied by JavaTest as part of the request.
*IO* tag This state shows that the JavaTest Agent was executing a task on behalf of JavaTest but that some exception occurred while trying to send the results back to JavaTest.

The following states show that the JavaTest Agent completed a request for JavaTest; the states correspond to the various possible outcomes of the task. These outcomes are exactly the same as the outcomes JavaTest gets when it runs tests directly, without the assistance of the JavaTest Agent.

State Description
PASS: The task completed successfully.
FAIL: The task indicated that it failed.
ERR: The task encountered some error before it could properly be executed.
!RUN: This should never occur; if it were to occur, it would mean that a task has inappropriately indicated that it has not been run.
