<TestStand Application Data> Directory
The <TestStand Application Data> directory is hidden by default and contains configuration files users generally do not edit but an application can edit. The directory includes the Cfg subdirectory, which contains configuration files for TestStand Engine, TestStand Sequence Editor, and TestStand User Interface options, as shown in the following table. You might need to deploy these files to a target computer when creating a deployment.

Note The TestStand 2012 or later process models include significant changes to implement a process model plug-in architecture for model sequence files. TestStand 2012 or later uses the plug-in mechanism to decouple result processing from the process models. As part of this change, the result processing options move from TestStandModelReportOptions.ini and TestStandDatabaseOptions.ini into a single ResultProcessing.cfg file, located in the <TestStand Application Data>\Cfg\ModelPlugins directory, that stores configuration information for all result processing model plug-ins. The database schemas that were stored in TestStandDatabaseOptions.ini are stored in TestStandDatabaseSchemas.ini, separate from ResultProcessing.cfg. The result processing options files from TestStand 2010 SP1 or earlier are not compatible with TestStand 2012 or later but can be used with the equivalent legacy TestStand 2010 process models. Use the TestStand Migration Utility to migrate the result processing options from TestStand 2010 SP1 or earlier installed on the computer to the current version of TestStand.
