Folder Element/en

Introduction

Folder elements are used to group related items. Notice that any action block item can have sub items. Besides being used to specify user-defined action menus (see Testsuite Editor), folders have no special semantic relevance.

Folder elements only provide a single editor tab, into which documentation related to the folder can be entered. If this documentation is left empty, the documentation editor presents a short summary of the containing element's documentation texts (read-only).

Useful Tricks

In imported library suites, put stuff which is supposed to be used by importing projects into a separate folder named "API" or "Exported". This makes it easier for other team members to find reusable stuff.

Add a folder named "Playground" or "Examples" or similar and place compound action blocks which demonstrate key features or low level access functionality. Other team members may later easily find those and play with the examples. It is also a good idea to place simple connection, communication, SUT is running tests, setup and shutdown blocks there (unless those are commonly used, then put them into API/Exported).
