Icon Description

You can use the Virtual Folder icon to view folders at different levels. The available options are as follows:

  • Root Folders: Shows virtual folders at the top, followed by the folder structure of the repository.
  • Embedded Folders: Shows the folder structure of the repository first, with files organized into virtual folders.
  • None: Excludes virtual folders entirely, and presents only the original folder structure of the repository.
You can use the Link with editor icon to connect Test Editor tabs to their corresponding locations in the test navigator panel. By using this icon, you can easily navigate and quickly access specific test assets within your project.

You can apply a filter to view folders by their asset type. You can select one or more of the following asset types and apply the filter:
  • Tests
  • Suites
  • Smartshots
  • Datasets
