+ When the output of ``ctest`` is being sent directly to a terminal, the
+ progress through the set of tests is reported by updating the same line
+ rather than printing start and end messages for each test on new lines.
+ This can significantly reduce the verbosity of the test output.
+ Test completion messages are still output on their own line for failed
+ tests and the final test summary will also still be logged.

+ :envvar:`CTEST_PROGRESS_OUTPUT`.
+
``-V,--verbose``
