Creating a project folder
When a project folder is created, the following actions occur:
• The project folder is added to the Project Navigator.
• A script file (named “main”) is created and placed in the project folder.
• The script file (which has no code) is opened and displayed in the Script Development area
of the Test Script Builder.
The toolbar at the top of the Test Script Builder is used to create a project folder. Figure 13-4
explains how to create a project folder.
