Ok, maybe take that and tailor it more to testing. Here it is in order of severity. The recommended display level would be "warn". fatal !!!!!!! There's an error in the TAP producer and it has to shut down. Test::More's "WHOA THERE!" messages are another. fail !!!!!! Info about a test which failed. This would be all existing failure diagnostics, the "Bail out!" message and end of failing test script messages like "You ran 3 but said you'd run 5". warn !!!!! There's an ambiguity in the use of the TAP producer. Test::More's messages like "you named a test with a number, confusing". notice !!!! "Normal but significant condition" (from syslog). This is some text you want the user to see that isn't associated with a particular test. "Trying to connect to the Internet". "The next test might take a long time". pass !!! Info about a test which passed. info !! General information about the test that the user probably doesn't need to see. This is currently done with a "# foo" comment sent to STDOUT. debug ! Debugging information.
