The Success status of a test measures the correctness of the device response against the expected test parameters. Depending on the device and tester's needs, there may be tests that are successful when the device responds with a Failure message (similarly to the example presented in this section).

Check test execution details#

To see execution logs for your tests:

  1. While in the Device tests panel, find your test and click its name.

  2. Expand the Logs section using the ^ arrow icon to see execution details.
