Tip To avoid duplicate reporting of sub-sequences when aggregating the status summary or pass rate for a test result, Test Monitor does not consider steps that have children. Ensure TestStand sequences report success only when all child steps succeed, otherwise the sequence might report a failure with a 100% pass rate.
