Answer 1

The working directory for test projects is created at the time you start running your tests.

If you run them locally this is created in a folder TestResults inside your project folder. If you run them in remote machines a different folder is created in each test agent in the following path:

C:\Users{userRunsTheTest}\AppData\Local\VSEQT\QTAgent\{GuidForThisRun}

In order your files to be deployed in these folder and have access to them you have to:

1. Set the Copy to Output Directory = Copy Always
2. In the test that needs these files set them as DeploymentItems.
