test_as_actual

Headline or event announces a message as a test but status is Actual. A test should be marked as Test, or else downstream systems will relay it as a live warning.

A headline or <event> announcing a "Required Weekly Test" or "Required Monthly Test" — the standard EAS/IPAWS test language — but a <status> of Actual rather than Test is a CAP conformance problem: a downstream system that keys routing off <status> will relay a scheduled test to the public as if it were a live warning, with a real risk of public misunderstanding.
