Best Practice in Folder Structure/Organization

[gilbar16]

Hello,

Any suggestion on Best Practice on how to organize your Ranorex folders/files?

Example:
\Generic or Common Functions
\Project-A
\TestData
\UserCodes
\Results
\Repositories
\Documentation

What File/Folder Structure do most Ranorex users use?

Also, why is it that when a New Test Solution is created, Ranorex creates two folders named after the Project name by default as in
"c:\Libraries\Documents\Ranorex\RanorexStudio Projects\ProjectName_Test\ProjectName_Test\"?

Thanks.

Hello Gilbert,

How to organize the folder structure of your project depends very much on your special needs and the scope of your test solution.

If you have for example a lot of modules, it would be a good approach to separate them into different folders.
For example you could create a folder for code modules and another folder for recording modules.
This could be done within the solution explorer directly.

Regarding the path of the project, one 'ProjectName_Test'-folder represents the project and the other one corresponds to the Ranorex solution.

One solution could contain a variety of projects.

I would recommend taking a look at the blog post about how to organize a test automation project with Ranorex.
