Valid contexts

This action may be used within the following project items: test modules and user-defined actions.

Notes

• This action sets the value of the notice level built-in setting. Note that the same effect can be achieved by using the setting action with notice level.
• When a problem with a high enough severity causes the test to pause, the user is presented with a message box indicating the nature of the problem, and is offered the choices of stopping the test, continuing with the remainder of the test, or debugging the problem.
• All problem events, whether or not of sufficient severity to trigger a pause in the test run, are logged to the test results.
• This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string <ignore> is present as the value of the argument, or the argument contains an expression that evaluates to <ignore>, the action is skipped during execution.
