The test tree uses colored icons to indicate both run status and result status. The colors of the icons shown below are the JavaTest default settings. The JavaTest harness allows you to use colors other than these default settings. See Specifying Status Colors.
When activity occurs in a folder, such as loading or running tests, the JavaTest harness displays an arrow to the left of the folder icon. The standard values of the current configuration, not the view filter, determine the run status displayed by the test tree.
The folder icon indicates the current test results in the work directory and does not change until its tests are completed. After the JavaTest harness completes the tests in a folder, it displays the appropriate result status icon.
The folder icon displayed in the test tree is determined by the result of all its tests (see Test Icons) and the current view filter (see Using View Filters). The folder icons displayed in the test tree indicate the highest priority result of any test hierarchically beneath it. The priority order is:
| Icon | Result | Color and Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Error | A blue folder containing a ! symbol indicates that it and/or one or more of its child folders contains tests with a result of error. Note that this folder may also contain tests and folders that are Failed, Not Run, Passed, and Filtered out. |
|
Failed | A red folder containing a x symbol indicates that it and/or one or more of its child folders contains tests with a result of failed. Note that this folder may also contain tests and folders that are Not Run, Passed, and Filtered out. |
|
Not run | A white folder containing a - symbol indicates that it and/or one or more of its child folders contains tests with a result of not run. Note that this folder may also contain tests and folders that are Passed and Filtered out. |
|
Passed |
A green folder containing a symbol indicates that it and all of its children
have a result of passed. Note
that this folder may also contain tests and folders
that are Filtered out.
|
|
Filtered out | A gray folder containing no symbols indicates that it and all of its children have been filtered out. |
