## A Frequently Asked Questions

This appendix contains the following questions.

- Where do I start to debug a test failure?

### A.1 Where do I start to debug a test failure?

See Chapter 6, "Debugging Test Problems," for more information.

### A.2 How do I restart a crashed test run?

If you need to restart a test run, you can figure out which test crashed the test suite by looking at the logs.

### A.3 What would cause tests be added to the exclude list?

The exclude file (`docs/TCK-Exclude-List.txt`) contains all tests that are not required to be run. The file is used only for documentation purpose. The tests are excluded using @Disabled tag in Junit when necessary. The following is a list of reasons for a test to be included in the Exclude List:

- An error in a Compatible Implementation that does not allow the test to execute properly has been discovered.

- An error in the specification that was used as the basis of the test has been discovered.

- An error in the test has been discovered.
