If a test is marked yellow in the report, is it a product defect?

A yellow color in the test report usually indicates that the test did not pass successfully but also did not fail critically — for example, the test was skipped, or there are warnings.

This is not necessarily a product defect. Possible reasons:

• The test depends on external services that are temporarily unavailable.
• The test is marked as "flaky" and is temporarily disabled.
• There are issues with the test environment.

To determine whether this is a product defect, it is necessary to analyze the reason for the yellow status and the test logs.
