The drive has passed a test if all the series of subtests 
included under a test has been performed successfully.
Otherwise, a drive has failed the test.  Although, a display
of the Test Results is provided at the end of the test, a Test
Results file can be generated.  The filename of this file
is the drive serial number, with an extension of 'qdg' 
(ex. 00000500.qdg).  Written in the file is a summary of 
test performed, as well as a breakdown of which subtest
has been performed successfully, which has failed, or
which has not yet been performed at all.
