This read-only object reports the current status of a diagnostic test on this DSL port, moving through inactive, active, and then settling at passed, failed, or aborted once the test concludes, and the desc notes it stays at that final value until cleared via cXdslTestTrigger or a new test begins. It also specifies that the test is marked passed only when there are no BERT errors and no BERT bit errors at all. For example, an admin seeing cXdslTestStatus report failed after a BERT run would check cXdslTestBertErrors and cXdslTestBertBitErrors to see which of the two failure conditions actually caused it.
