+ A test performs operations and reports results. The results may or may not directly indicate that a page passes or fails requirements. Typically, accessibility tests report successes and failures. But a test in Testaro is defined less restrictively, so it can report any results. As one example, the Testaro `elements` test reports facts about certain elements on a page, without asserting that those facts are successes or failures.

+ The term “test” has two meanings for Testaro:
240
+ - A command is a test (test command) if its `type` property has the value `test`.
241
+ - A package, such as Continuum, performs multiple tests (packaged tests).

243
+ Thus, if a command of type `test` runs Continuum, Continuum performs multiple tests and reports their results.
