<sect1 id="GBFYQ"><title>Where do I start to debug a test failure?</title>
<para>From the JavaTest GUI, you can view recently run tests using the Test
Results Summary, by selecting the red Failed tab or the blue Error tab. See <olink
targetptr="GBFUV">Chapter&nbsp;6, Debugging Test Problems</olink> for more
information.</para></sect1>
<sect1 id="GBFYR"><title>How do I restart a crashed test run?</title>
<para>If you need to restart a test run, you can figure out which test crashed
the test suite by looking at the <filename>harness.trace</filename> file.
The <filename>harness.trace</filename> file is in the report directory that
you supplied to the JavaTest GUI or parameter file. Examine this trace file,
then change the JavaTest GUI initial files to that location or to a directory
location below that file, and restart. This will overwrite only <filename>.jtr</filename> files
that you rerun. As long as you do not change the value of the GUI work directory,
you can continue testing and then later compile a complete report to include
results from all such partial runs.</para></sect1>
<sect1 id="GBFWU"><?Pub Caret><title>What would cause tests be added to the
exclude list?</title>
<para>The JavaTest exclude file (<filename>*.jtx</filename>) contains all
tests that are not required by Sun Microsystems to be run. The following is
a list of reasons for a test to be included in the Exclude List:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>An error in a Sun Microsystems reference implementation that
does not allow the test to execute properly has been discovered.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para>An error in the specification that was used as the basis of
the test has been discovered.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>An error in the test has been discovered.</para></listitem>
