Opening a Work Directory
Each work directory is associated with a specific test suite, a configuration, and possibly a template.
Each time the harness runs tests, it creates test result files that store the
information collected during the test run. The harness stores these files in
the work directory for all
test runs of the test suite with that configuration.
You can open a work directory from either the Quick Start wizard (when resuming work on a test run) or the Test Manager.

Use File > Recent Work Directory to quickly open a directory you have used before.
Open a Work Directory with the Quick Start Wizard
- Click the Browse button in the Quick Start wizard Work Directory
panel.
The harness displays a Work Directory chooser.
- Use the chooser to navigate to the location of the work directory.
- Click on the work directory icon or enter the name of the work directory in the text field.
- Click the Open button.
- Complete the Quick Start wizard.
When you complete the Quick Start wizard, the harness
opens a Test Manager window containing the test results for all test runs
of the associated test suite and configuration.
Open a Work Directory with the Test Manager
- Choose File > Open Work Directory from the Test Manager menu bar.
The harness displays the Open Work Directory dialog box.
- Use dialog box to navigate to the location of the work directory.
- Enter the name of the work directory in the Path field or click its name
in the tree.
- Click the Open button.
The harness performs one of the following actions:
- Displays the test results from the work directory for all test runs of
the current test suite
in the Test Manager if both of the following conditions
are true:
- The current test
suite and configuration are associated with the work directory.
- The current test suite is not associated with any other open work
directory.
- Opens a new Test Manager window for the work directory, test suite,
and configuration if the work directory is not associated with the current
test suite in the Test Manager.
