One feature request that I received many times for Simon<\/a> was the ability to organize tests into folders or groups \u2014 especially useful for people with lots of tests, or simply want to collect all tests relating to a particular server or client together.<\/p>\n

Tests can be grouped together however you wish. It\u2019s easy to create a group: simply choose the New Group<\/strong> command in the File<\/strong> menu or the + pop-up menu, then drag the tests into the new group. Even easier, you can just select some tests and choose the New Group with Selection<\/strong> command to make a group and move those tests into it in one step.<\/p>\n

$\"New$ <\/p>\n

Groups appear with disclosure triangles, enabling them to be collapsed. The group row shows a summary of the contents, with any common values displayed for easy reference. And similarly, the info pane shows a summary of the contained tests.<\/p>\n

$\"Tests\"$ <\/p>\n

Groups can even be nested, if desired \u2014 you can have an unlimited number of groups within other groups, if that helps organize them.<\/p>\n

But wait, there\u2019s more! While grouping tests is perhaps one of the most-requested features, I didn\u2019t stop there: you can also group services, filters, notifiers and reports in the same way!<\/p>\n

$\"Notifiers\"$ <\/p>\n

When these items are grouped, they appear indented in the Kind<\/strong> pop-up menu in the test editor, so you can keep related items together:<\/p>\n

$\"Popup\"$ <\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy this feature.<\/p>\n
