Use the Additional Results step type when you want to log data outside the context of one particular step in the sequence. The Additional Results step specifies values to add to the result list of a step.

An additional result is a value TestStand adds to the result list of a step when the step executes and when you skip a step or force the step to pass or fail. An additional result can be a module parameter or a custom additional result in which you specify the name and value of the result. You can configure TestStand to automatically include additional results in reports and when logging results to a database.

Configuring the Step

Use the Additional Results edit tab in the TestStand Sequence Editor and the Additional Results dialog box in a TestStand User Interface to add and configure additional results.

Step Properties

The Additional Results step type does not define any additional step properties other than the common custom properties all steps contain.
