5.3 Interpreting Log File Messages
The following list contains standard LOG file messages and brief explanations:
•
NOTE
Provides information about the environment in which the test is running. It
describes what the test is doing, so you understand the context if there is an
error.
•
CAUTION
An abnormal result, but not an actual error. This could indicate trouble
elsewhere; this is often the case when there are unused bits not at 0.
•
ERROR
Something is actually wrong. For example, the test might have written 1 to a
bit and read back 0.
•
FAILED
The reporting test received one or more ERRORs.
•
ABORTED
The test terminated abnormally before completion.
•
WARNING
The program encountered a serious situation associated with an area not
being directly tested. This situation does not necessarily cause the current
test to fail, but it can provide a clue to other problems. This is a more serious
message than CAUTION.
•
PASSED
The selected test completed successfully.
