Seems, that it may be just 2 different tests. - the test should define platform and report 'passed' if it does not

Yes. It is just one line of code. For example, from Support_Exec.java class: boolean onUnix = File.separatorChar == '/'; thanks, Vladimir In this context seems we don't need in any 'level' group
