+The resulting schema is `{{ profile.schema }}_{{ tests.schema }}`, with a default suffix of `dbt_test__audit`.
+To use the same profile schema, set `+schema: null`.

+- When true, `store_failures` saves all records (up to [limit](/reference/resource-configs/limit)) that failed the test. Failures are saved in a new table with the name of the test.
