+ <p>The way Common Test handles skipping of test cases has
+ been updated. In previous versions, returning
+ <c>{skip,Reason}</c> from a configuration function (such
+ as init_per_suite or init_per_group), resulted in all
+ affected test cases getting skipped with status
+ <c>auto_skipped</c>. This was inappropriate, since this
+ status is supposed to be used to inform that Common Test
+ has taken the initiative to skip something (e.g. a test
+ case group if init_per_group failed). Therefore, in this
+ version of Common Test, whenever the user skips a suite,
+ group, or individual test case (by means of a
+ configuration function or test specification term), the
+ affected test cases get the status <c>user_skipped</c>
+ instead.</p> <p>This update has meant a few changes that
+ may affect Common Test users in various ways: <list>
+ <item>The test results and statistics will be affected,
+ which is important to know when running regression tests
+ and comparing results to previous test runs.</item>
+ <item>Users that read or parse the textual log file
+ <c>suite.log</c> will notice that an auto skipped
+ function is now reported as <c>auto_skipped</c> rather
+ than <c>skipped</c> as before.</item> <item>When
+ <c>require</c> fails in an info function (such as suite/0
+ or group/1), all affected configuration functions and
+ test cases are marked as <c>auto_skipped</c>.</item>
+ <item>If Common Test detects an error in the test suite
+ (such as e.g. an invalid all/0 function), all affected
+ configuration functions and test cases are marked as
+ <c>auto_skipped</c>.</item> <item>If a repeated test run
+ session reaches a deadline with <c>force_stop</c>
+ enabled, all remaining test cases are marked as
+ <c>auto_skipped</c> rather than <c>user_skipped</c> as
+ before.</item> <item>The event messages that Common Test
+ generates during test runs have been affected by this
+ update. For details see OTP-11524.</item> </list> </p>
