State Colors Settings

This dialog allows for the status colors (in lists and reports) to be choosen.
By default, the colors are:

• Green

successful test runs / test items.

• Red

for failed test runs / test items.
A failure should be reported if the System-Under-Test (SUT) is incorrect. This verdict is the outcome of a test which detects a malfunction in the system under test. It is NOT reported if the test itself is erronous (i.e. raises an exception).
A failure-result requires action by the developer of the System-Under-Test.

• Dark Red

for erronous test runs / test items.
An error is reported if the Test itself is malfunctioning. This means, that we do not know if the System-Under-Test (SUT) is correct.
An error-result always requires action by the test-developer.

• Grey

for inconclusive test runs / test items. The term "inconclusive" means, that for some reason, the test could not be executed (typically due to missing resources, measurement devices, databases etc.), and therefore, it is not known, if the System-Under-Test (SUT) is correct or not. Also, skipped tests are marked as inconclusive.
An inconclusive-result requires action by the test-manager.

If you have red/green visibility problems, you may want to change the setting for better readability.
