Test Icons

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.

Test Run Status

The JavaTest harness displays an arrow to the left of the test icon when running a test. The standard values of the current configuration, not the view filter, determine the run status displayed by the test tree.

Test Result

The test icon indicates the last known test result and does not change until the test is completed. After the JavaTest harness completes the test, it displays the appropriate result status icon.

The test result icons displayed in the test tree are determined by the results in the work directory and by the view filter set in the Test Manager window. See Using View Filters for a description of how to specify the test results displayed in the test tree. The JavaTest harness uses the following test icons to indicate the result of each test:

Icon Result Color and Description
Test Error Error A blue icon containing a ! symbol indicates that the test is not filtered out and that JavaTest could not execute it. These errors usually occur because the test environment is not properly configured.
Test Failed Failed A red icon containing a x symbol indicates that the test is not filtered out and failed the last time it was executed.
Test Not Run Not run A white icon containing a - symbol indicates that the test is not filtered out but has not yet been executed.
Test Passed Passed A green icon containing a Symbol used in the passed icon symbol indicates that the test is not filtered out and passed the last time it was executed.
Test Filtered Out Filtered out A gray icon containing no symbols indicates that the test is currently not selected to be run.
