Understanding Your Testomato Error Report
In today’s post we’ll go over the different types of errors in our reports and the meaning of each error.
Error reports are meant to document when an error occurs on a website or in an application. Not only is it a great way to ensure you don’t forget about resolving it, but it’s useful for making sure that everyone is clear on what the error is.
What’s in my report?
We’ve kept our reports simple (just like the rest of Testomato). A standard report will contain the following information:
- Which project you have an error in
- Which test from the project failed
- What type of error occurred
- When your tests were run
See the example screenshot below:
And, what do each of these errors mean?
Test Timeout
Your page download timed out, meaning the time required for its download exceeded the value in your project settings. This could mean that your server is overloaded, down, offline, or your network could be experiencing problems with our servers. If everything seems to be normal, try running your project tests again.
Incorrect Status Code
The server responded with a different HTTP status code than expected.
Page Not Found
Your server returned an HTTP Status 404, meaning the page being tested does not exist.
Server Error
Your server failed to respond with the standard response for successful HTTP request (e.g. 200) and instead, returned a different status code (e.g. 500). Make sure to contact your server administrator for further support.
Incorrect Redirection Status Code
The server responded with a bad redirection HTTP status (e.g. 301, 302). You should check the configuration of your web server host/application.

The server performed a redirection that brings users to an incorrect location. You should check the configuration of your web server host/application.
