How to: Adjust Test Results Views
The Test Results window displays a single test run, which is the test run that is currently loaded. By default, this is the most recent test run. However, you can also load a different test run from the past; this test run is then displayed in the Test Results window. For more information about how to load test runs, see How to: Import Test Results.
You can change the display of the Test Results window in several ways. You can display a different test run, and within a test run, you can display results of different individual tests. You can show, hide, and re-order the columns in the tabular section of the Test Results window.
The Test Results window can display tests by result list, just like the Test List Editor. A result list is the set of results that is created when you run a test list. The hierarchy of result lists that is displayed in the Test Results window reflects the hierarchy of test lists that is displayed in the Test List Editor.
The following procedures describe how to change the display of the Test Results window.
