VTS Messages

There are various messages for each of the tests that run under VTS. Most messages contain all the explanatory text that is possible for each event that is encountered. Some messages are information messages (INFO, VERBOSE, WARNING) which do not represent an error, while some messages are error messages (ERROR and FATAL), indicating that the test detected a failure or was unable to run.

Whenever possible, the error message supplies a message type, followed by the message text, one or more probable causes, and one or more recommended corrective actions. The following table describes the types of messages you might encounter. All messages are displayed in the Message panel, and most are logged in one of the logs (Info or Error).

Error and Info logs
Displayed when a test encounters a severe condition that might cause the test to exit, such as a failure to open a device. These messages generally do not indicate a hardware failure.
