View Test Progress
As each test in the test pass is run, the Test pass display window shows the status of each test appended to each test name in brackets. For example, if a test named DirectDraw Performance Test is running, the name is displayed as DirectDraw Performance Test [In Progress]. Also, the green status bar at the bottom of the Windows Embedded Compact Test Kit main window displays the progress of the test.
After a test has completed its run, the results of the tests are displayed in the brackets appended to the test name. For example, depending on the results of the test, you will see either DirectDraw Performance Test [Passed] or DirectDraw Performance Test [Failed]. In addition, the text color of the test name is changed to green if the test passed or red if the test failed.
As the tests are run, the Kernel Independent Transport Layer (KITL) debug message output is displayed in the Connection Output window.
