Re: [QF-Test] Disable components

["Karlheinz Kellerer\, QFS Support" <support@?.de>]

Hi Henrik,

In difference to all other nodes, disabling of component nodes doesn't
have any real effect (beside changing the color).

Therefore the only way of finally checking is to actually remove the
unused components and re-run the tests. A backup of the test-suite is
recommended before performing mass changes like removing unused
components, of course.

QF-Test helps finding, marking and removing of unused components.

Other helpful features for checking test-suite consistency can be found
in the menu Operations->Analyzing

Best regards,
    Karl
