The Test Result Interface is the interface between the Execution Tools and the Test Result Tools. It allows for Test Executors to store the test results in a uniform way in order to let the Test Reporting tools generate reports suitable for the situation and the audience.

The Test Result structure is basically the same as for the Test Suite. The only extra element is the 'testrun' element at base of the file. The structure can be illustrated with:

A Test Result file can start with either a testrun, testgroup, or testcase element. A testrun element consists of exactly 1 testgroup. A testgroup may contain links to other testgroups or testcases.

In short the Test Results contain as much information as needed to know under what conditions the test was performed and what the result was. This will mean verdicts (pass/fail/etc), (links to the) test log files, version information of the SUT, execution date and time, platform information, etc, etc.
