Error List Overview
The Error list warnings and errors pertain to defining and configuring the test.
• Errors—Shows information about critical conditions that do not allow you to load or run a test.
• Warnings—Shows information about conditions that may require attention, but do not prevent you
from loading or running a test.
The contents of the Error list are dynamic and change according to the part of the application you are
using.
The application does not store the contents of the Error list in a file. Each message is removed when the
corresponding condition is corrected.
Error List information
The Error list provides the following information for each error:
• Message type icon—Shows the corresponding icon for the message type.
• Sequence number—Shows the numbered order in which the application detects the error or warning.
• Description—Contains the text that describes the error or warning.
Error Location
In addition to the Error list, the application also marks the problem conditions with error and warning icons
on or near the offending selection or setting in the user interface. If you double-click an item in the list, the
program control point moves to (or near to) the location of the error.
Error Identification
The Error list identifies error conditions for the current context or object selected. For example, you can
use the Error list and the Test Definition object to view a summary of the errors in a test.
