The Stop Test dialog is displayed.

After stopping a test, the following occurs:

Virtual machines in the recovery site are powered off and removed.
The resource group created for the operation is deleted.
The checkpoint that was used for the test has the following tag added to identify the test: Tested at startDateAndTimeOfTest.

This checkpoint can be used to identify the point-in-time to use to restore the virtual machines in the VPG during a failover.
