Tip When aggregating the status
summary or pass rate, Test Monitor does not consider steps with children. This method avoids
duplicating reports of sub-sequences. Ensure that TestStand sequences only report a success
when all child steps succeed. Otherwise, the sequence might report a failure with a 100%
pass rate.
