Hello @yxliang01 !

I believe that truffle delegates the responsibility for exit codes to mocha.
However, mocha itself does not appear to have a clear documentation on its exit codes.
The best information I have found so far is that the exit code is the number of failed tests, or 255 if there are more than 255 failed tests.

mochajs/mocha#3559

Yeah @icherkashin, your finding matches mine. So, I believe this should be added to the truffle documentation.

truffle test: Describe the exit status
d253d52 
Per trufflesuite/truffle#2155

Truffle documentation does not describe the exit status of `truffle
test` command. Neither does `mocha`, except in its source code.

The changes introduced by this commit may benefit the project in these
ways:
  - Providing a link to `mocha` source code shows that the issue is not
  caused by `truffle`
  - Users searching for `mocha exit status` may find the answer in
  `truffle` documentation, which increases awareness of the project
