Creating a New Total Test Project

In order to start with a brand-new project, click on the Create a new Total Test project toolbar icon.

Alternate ways to create a new project:

1. Select from the menu File > New > Project > BMC > 

   Total Test

    Project.

2. Click on the New Project symbol  available in the toolbar and select BMC > 

   Total Test

    Project.

3. Right-click in the Project Explorer view, select New > Project > BMC > 

   Total Test

    Project.

4. Click the NEW... button in the Record Test Case dialog box. See also Record-Test-Scenarios-from-Code-Debug or Context-Menus-from-Code-Debug-Session.

After that, the New Total Test Project Wizard will open. This is an Eclipse standard wizard which you can go through without any special requirements. You just have to enter the new project's name and the test folder name into which the Total Test folders will be created. You can enter multiple folder levels, for example "MyTests/SimpleDB2". Click Finish. The new Total Test project appears in the Project Explorer.

To manually create the remaining Unit Test subfolders

If you want to create a Virtualized Test (Unit Test) scenario from scratch without recording, you need to manually create the remaining Unit Test subfolders:

1. Right-click the newly created test folder, for example RegressionTest in the above Accounting project.
2. Select Total Test >  Create Unit Test Folder.
   
   This creates the folder structure needed to support manually creating Virtualized Test (Unit Test) tests. See also Project-Structure for a description of the folders.

Importing an Existing Project

If you already have an existing or an archived (ZIP file) Total Test project which you want to import into your workspace, invoke the Eclipse standard wizard for the import of existing projects.

1. Form the menu, select File > Import.
2. Choose General > Existing Project into Workspace from the list and click Next.
3. Select the folder containing the project data. The wizard will display a list of all projects found in the folder.
4. Choose either Select root directory or Select archive file and click the associated Browse to locate the directory or file containing the projects.
5. Select that you want to import.
6. Under Projects select the project or projects which you would like to import.
7. Click Finish.
   All Total Test projects found after having successfully imported the project, will automatically be recognized as a Total Test project.

When Total Test detects that projects were created with an earlier version of Total Test, you will be prompted to upgrade (see also Total-Test-Projects-Upgrade-Window).

If you are managing your projects with an SCM product, the import process may differ depending on the SCM product you use. Often the SCM product provides its own import wizard. Please refer to the SCM product manual for details.
