The `create` method of the results API creates a test result for a given test of a test session.

## HTTP Request

## Request Payload

```json
{
  "test": "String",
  "status": "Enum['OK', 'ERROR', 'TIMEOUT', 'NOT_RUN']",

  - **OK**: All tests were executed without problems.
  - **ERROR**: There was an error running one or multiple tests.
  - **TIMEOUT**: It took too long for the tests to execute.
  - **NOT_RUN**: This test was skipped.
- **message** contains the reason for the overall status. If the status is `OK` the message should be `null`.

    - **PASS**: The test was executed successfully.
