TMPDIR is the general folder where all the temporary files of the tests will be saved. The list of the tests is then shown, with their endings.

Possible endings

passed	Test ended up successfully
failed : error_output not empty	A line has been printed whereas it should not have
failed : dia and ref are not equal	You have a difference between your result and what it should have been (reference)
failed : premature end of the test script	Something stopped the test before it had time to finish normally
unknown	You have an error that doesn't match any of our usual situations
failed : the ref file doesn't exist	The test needs a reference file to compare its result
failed : the dia file is not correct	The file produced by the test isn't correctly formatted
failed : the string (!--error) has been detected	The test script produced an error that might have been masked by the rest of the test
skipped : interactive test	The test needs an action from your part, and has been skipped as you are in non interactive mode
skipped : not yet fixed	The bug is reported, however the developer did not have time to fix it
failed : bug reopened	This bug used to be fixed, but it came back to an instable status and is waiting another fix from its developer
skipped : test with graphic	When a test is graphic and scilab is launched without graphic
skipped : Long time duration	This test is too long to be tested. Usually appears on Scilab's test chain
skipped : Windows only	You are under another OS than Windows, and this test is only available for Windows platforms
skipped : MacOSX only	You are under another OS than MacOSX, and this test is only available for Mac platforms
skipped : Linux only	You are under another OS than Linux, and this test is only available for Linux platforms

You then have a summary of the execution, indicating how many tests were skipped, failed or suceed, and the duration time of the whole. In details, you have a report for each test that failed, indicating where to check for error logs.
