Welcome - Work Directory

When the JT Harness harness creates a new desktop it checks the following:

  1. Has it been started in a work directory or test suite?
  2. Has it been installed with a test suite?

If the harness can locate and open a test suite when it creates a new desktop, it displays a dialog box that guides you through the process of either opening an existing work directory or creating a new work directory:

Button Function
Open Work Directory Click the Open Work Directory button to use an existing work directory. When you open an existing work directory, the harness also opens the test suite associated with it.
Create Work Directory Click the Create Work Directory button when you either do not have or do not want to use an existing work directory for the test suite.

You can also use the Test Manager tool to change test suites or work directories after the GUI is running:

Check the Save Desktop State on Exit option to automatically open the test suite and work directory the next time that you start the harness. See Appearance Preferences for a description of setting this preference.

After you specify a work directory, you can use the Test Manager window to configure and run tests. See Configuring a Test Run for detailed description of setting up a configuration for the test run. See Running Tests for a detailed description of the steps required to start a test run.
