What to Add or Ignore in a repository?

A short Question. Do I need to store the KeywordTests/Visualizer and or the Events/TLBs, to the repository? I think the Only files I need to add are the Tables (Stores/Tables), KeywordTests (-"-) and the ProjectFiles (*.mds, etc.). (I'm just wondering why my colleague added them.)



Thanks for you answers.

    i would not store the TLBs but the Visualizers may depend.  One advantage the visualizer gives you is that you can compare the visualization of the test when it's run to the test when it was recorded.  Storing the visualizer in a source respository gives you that history of what things "looked like" when they were recorded to allow for those comparisons.

    Hello



    Robert is right: there is no need to store event type libraries (*.tlb) whereas Visualizer files (*.tcVis, *.png, *.xml) are required for references, image comparison and visual object selection.

    See the List of Files Added to Source Code Control topic for a complete list of files added to the source repository.
