Creating a Work Directory

Each work directory is associated with a specific test suite and stores its test result files. The test result files contain all of the information gathered by the JavaTest harness during test runs. You can create a new work directory for a new test suite or a new configuration. In some cases you might also choose to create a new work directory instead of using an existing work directory.

The following are some examples of occasions when you might choose to create a new work directory instead of using an existing work directory:

To create a new work directory, choose File -> Create Work Directory from the desktop menu.

The JavaTest harness displays the Create Work Directory dialog box. Use the dialog box to navigate to the location of the new work directory.

Enter the name of the new work directory in the text field and click the Create button.

When you create a new work directory, the JavaTest harness opens a new Test Manager window and that associates the new work directory with the current test suite.
