# publishTestResults

This configuration section contains settings related to publishing test results.

To read more about publishing test results see the [Publishing test result files](https://docs.specsolutions.eu/specsync/jira/features/test-result-publishing-features/publishing-test-result-files) page. Please also check the [command line reference](https://docs.specsolutions.eu/specsync/jira/reference/command-line-reference/publish-test-results-command) for the `publish-test-results` command.

The following example shows the most common options within this section.

```javascript
{
  ...
  "publishTestResults": {
    "testResult": {
      "sources": [
        {
          "value": "test-result.trx"
        }
      ]
    },
    "treatInconclusiveAs": "Failed",
    "flakyTestOutcome": "lastAttemptOutcome",
