This section describes how to work with projects and .tst files saved in YAML format.

Working with Projects

Saving a Project File

Any changes that you make to project properties, test suites, and so on are automatically saved to the project. Projects will remain open until you explicitly close them.

Closing a Project File

When you close a project file, SOAtest will close all related trees and settings. Closed projects are shown in the Navigator, but not in the Test Case Explorer. To close the current project and all related settings, right-click the project in the Navigator and choose Close Project.

Opening a Project File

When you open a project file, all associated trees, settings, and reports will be restored. To open a project file, right-click the project in the Navigator and choose Open Project.
