TestExecute: Run test items without killing the process
I am imagining an extreme testing scenario is that I load some data and call a few tests, and then load some data and call a test again(because I may not know how much data I need to initiate at the beginning. Or if the data-driven functions can let me read data from different files loaded specifically for different tests, that would work for me too - I am new to TestComplete, so a quick answer would make the evaluation easier to me). TestExecute has to be launched and exited repetetively; I wonder why it is designed so and if there is anyway to repetetively call TestExcute without killing the process and relaunch it.
If you are running TestExecute where you are running individual tests via commandline, this is how it is done.
If you want to run a bunch of tests all at once in one call to TestExecute, this is what "TestItems" are for. You configure a list of TestItems in your project to execute in a particular order and then you just run the full project without needing to run individual test items.
