Click the Test Run Messages tab to display detailed messages describing what happened during the running of each section of the test. This information is especially useful when troubleshooting a test run.
The Test Run Messages tab contains the following:
The message list provides a detailed list of messages issued during a test run. Click an item in the list to display its contents in the messages area.
Displays the messages issued during a test run. The number, names, and content vary for each test suite and may also vary for different tests in the same test suite.
Only one per test, summarizes all of the messages generated during a test run and provides hypertext links to their detailed contents:
Only one per tests, passed up from the Script that executed the test. Script messages vary for each test script. Refer to your test suite documentation for detailed descriptions of its script messages when troubleshooting a test run.
Each test result section has an Output Summary and Result message that provides summary messages and hypertext links to its detailed messages. The name of the Output Summary message is a function of the test suite and varies for each test suite.
Some tests have only one result section, while others have multiple sections. Refer to your test suite documentation for detailed descriptions of the tests when troubleshooting a test run.
The following lists and describes the message types:
Message Type | Description | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Output Summary |
A two column table listing the name and size of each output section. Each output section contains text generated while executing the test section:
The ref and the log output are two streams that a test can use when writing test information. These are only example names, although the messages filed always exists in a section. Many tests only use the log stream and include tracing as well as standard error information when writing to the log output. If there are no details in an output section, the JavaTest harness does not create its hypertext link and indicates in the Size (chars) column that it is "empty." The contents of each output section varies from test suite to test suite. Refer to your test suite documentation for detailed descriptions of the test section messages when troubleshooting a test run. |

Result | Contains a colored status icon and a brief description of the results of the specific test section. The color of the circle indicates the result of the test section. |
Only one per test, the Test Result Message indicates the cumulative result of the test, determined by the test script from the results of the preceding test sections (if any).
For negative tests, the Test Result correctly indicates "passed" when all of its test sections have failed.
