# Test Response

Test Response adds a message to the result for the current path. Use it to log context, highlight a milestone, or surface a [Value](/values/value-store.md) in the run report without failing the Test Case.

## When to use it

* Record an order ID or token from the Value Store in the result for quick review.
* Mark a checkpoint as success or warning with a clear **Level** in the report.
* Prefer [Test Comment](/test-steps/utility/test-comment.md) for notes that stay internal to the Flow builder view.
