When the JavaTest harness creates a new desktop it checks the following:
If the JavaTest 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 JavaTest 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 window to change test suites or work directories after the JavaTest GUI is running:
The next time you start the JavaTest harness it automatically opens the test suite and work directory for you without displaying the Welcome to JavaTest dialog box.
After you specify a work directory, you can use the Test Manager window to configure and run tests. Refer to Running Tests for a description of how to start a test run.
