Preview Errata
Preview errata are used to mask failures in new tests or sometimes test cases within tests. If a preview Erratum is applied to your test run, you should examine the failures in question. Do not assume that these failures are bugs in the test. The failures are most likely problems with the device under test. These problems must be fixed before the preview erratum expires.
