When you run a project suite, you run all the projects it includes. On the Test Items page of the project suite, you can view and change the project run order.

To open the page, do any of the following:

Double-click the project suite in the Project Explorer.

– or –

Right-click the project suite node in the Project Explorer and then click Edit > Test Items.

Click the image to enlarge it.

The projects are listed in a table with the following columns:

Column	Description
Enabled	Specifies whether to run the project during the project suite run.
Stop on Error	Specifies whether to stop the entire project suite run if this project fails. See Stop Project Suite After Project Fails.
Name	Read-only. The project name.
Location	Read-only. The project file name.
Timeout	Specifies the maximum run time (in minutes) for a project. If the run time exceeds the timeout, TestComplete posts an error message to the test log and generates the `OnTimeout` event. If the event handler sets the `Params.Break` parameters to True, TestComplete closes all tested applications that it started, stops the project and then continues running the next project. Default is 0, which means no timeout. Note: If the timeout interval elapses, TestComplete stops only the current project, not the whole project suite. To stop the project suite, call the `Runner.Stop` or `Runner.Halt` method within the `OnTimeout` event handler. See Stopping Tests on Timeout.
Description	Any descriptive text for the project.

You can adjust the table using the customization capabilities provided by TestComplete.

You cannot remove items from the Test Items page of the project suite editor.

The properties set on the current page have effect only during the entire project suite run. They are not taken into account when the underlying project (or a specific test) is launched separately. Thus, for example, you can exclude a project from the project suite's run, but launch it manually through the Run Project_Name command.
