Re: [qftestJUI] Running multiple .qft using the same running instance of QFT

[Gregor Schmid <Gregor.Schmid@?.de>]

Hi Paul, Stanley,

I guess Stanley's point about running multiple .qft files to prevent
excessive SUT startup is valid. As I said, I've been working on this
stuff for version 2.0 for in a different context (improved reporting
including a summary, new concept for Testset/Testcase nodes). I'll
look into whether the changes that allow running multiple suites in
one go can be back-ported to 1.08 easily. I'm not sure we'll be able
to do that for 1.08.2 though.

Best regards,
    Greg
