Hi
Thanks for answer.
I'm still not sure if I fully understand how to do this.
But let me give an ex. of how I would like have it:
I have several different applications, placed in the following
directory structure:

root+app+---app1--+--src
        |         |
        |         +--test
        |
        +---app2--+--src
        |         |
        |         +--test
        |
        +---app3--+--src
        |         |
        |         +--test
        |
        |
       +MasterTest

I would like to have a single test database in each app<n>\test
directory which tests only this application. But in the MasterTest dir
I would like to have a testdatabase which will run all the subtests +
integration test (tests which require several app's running together.
The tests in app<n>\test will typically be runned by developers, while
the test in MasterTest will be runned automatically by the daily build
system (build server).
Also: How is the best way of getting a html based report out of the
MasterTest test?
Will it be possible to use qmtest like this?
