Rebuild test database from directories

The test database is just a mean for managing test resources in a more comfortable way. The database can always be rebuild from information stored in directory and several files. Thus, one may also define test cases in the file system and starting TestBrowser later.

When no test database exists when starting TestBrowser , it will be created automatically by reading test suites, test cases and test runs from directory structure and connecting test suites with test runs. While rebuilding the database, a progress window shows the number of directories processed.

For large databases with several thousands tests this may take several minutes. Hence, it is better to run test databases by themes rather than having everything in one test database. This makes it also easier to manage test environments in a sub versioning system as SVN or GIT.

More details about TestBrowser functionality is provided in chapter "Action Reference".
