Test Deployment
Your test run configuration settings determine whether the test engine runs tests in the folder in which you have created them or in a separate deployment folder.
If tests are run in a deployment folder, the test engine first copies to that folder the files that are required to run the test. You can specify which files are to be copied. You can also choose whether to enable test deployment. For more information about how to set deployment options, see How to: Configure Test Deployment.
