Hi !

Is there an issue about having tests in different folders with the same name ?
The program issue a warning when I save a test with a name that already exist.

I sort my tests in folders depending on the type and wish to have the same name in all folders.

Not that I know of. Only when creating a report without folder names, it gets confusing.

The same name for different tests can be confusing for yourself and for the Log Analyzer. If these tests has also the same type (e.g. Ping and Ping, or UNC and UNC) you will not be able to determine which test generated record in the log. And Log Analyzer will think there are records from the same single test.
