The tester manual overview refers to all other sections:
Standard error output is initially generated to $TESTSPEC .R_SE.
Standard out output is initially generated to to $TESTSPEC .R_SO.
Both outputs are initially generated to $TESTSPEC .R_SE and $TESTSPEC .R_SO.
The combined outputs are initially generated to $TESTSPEC .R_SESO.
In the cshell the order of output when combining standard out with standard error varies. So often a tester will just save combined output rather than expect it to be the same each time.
User tags are generated to $TESTSPEC .R_TAG
Any FAILURES captured to $FILESPEC .result, $TESTSPEC .FAILED
Use the -generate option to re-generate results. By default the first run will generate data.
The resulting success/failure of all tests are appended to $TESTSPEC .result. The -summary option requests this file to be deleted.
After a test has run, if it was successful then only the expected output and a summary of results is kept around. The save command may be used to save additional output. The -keep options will keep those files around so they may be looked at.
Any FAILED test will leave a copy of all files to inspect the expected results and check out the failure.
Any outside name file by default will override the local names specified in the test specification. This means that locally defined names as well as the .names file are not read.
This database should be saved with the results of the test so that other tests can be added without affecting the original sequential ordering of the tests.
The -without option turns off database ordering and forces simple sequential test ordering.
This file should be saved with the results of the test so that other tests can be added without affecting the original sequential ordering of the tests.
This file contains a hash table into the indexed records discussed above.
