# Spec Files Status

A spec file can be in on of the following states:

* **Pending** - the spec file did not start its execution yet
* **Running** - the spec file started its execution and has been running
* **Timedout** - the spec file started its execution but didn't report results to the dashboard before the associated Run's timeout. Read more about [Run Timeouts](/dashboard/runs/run-timeouts.md).
* **Cancelled** - the spec file was running at the time the associated run was cancelled. The system will still accept the spec file's result and it will be marked as <mark style="color:blue;">Passed</mark> or <mark style="color:red;">Failed</mark>. If the spec never reports the result, it will be eventually marked as <mark style="color:purple;">Timedout</mark>.
* **Passed** - the spec file reported its results to Currents dashboard and no there were no failed tests detected
* **Failed** - the spec file reported its results to Currents dashboard and there was 1 or more failed or skipped test. Read more about [Test Status](/dashboard/tests/test-status.md).
