                It is the most complete and unique identifier for a test case.
                This property has a value, of the following form:

                Test type identifier, PAL uses it to group similar tests,
                e.g. for comparison tables.
                Ideally, this information should be parseable from test name,
                but the current naming scheme is not simple/consistent enough.
                The current implementation queries the robot test tags.
                The resulting value is frequently identical to result type,
                but this schema version does not require any relation there,
                as PAL may want to group tests differently.
