You may choose to suppress the test results of a test that generates known issues at your organization which do not need additional corrections.

When a test is suppressed, the following occurs:

• Errors/warnings not included in summary totals—The test’s issues are no longer included in the overall Errors and Warnings counts on Summary tab of the Analyze Deployment Type View. Instead, they are listed on the Issues Suppressed column.
• Test’s status is ignored in overall status—The test's status is ignored when assigning an overall status to a package.
• Test’s issues are not fixed—Issues generated by suppressed tests are not resolved during automatic issue resolution even if an auto-fix exists.
