Workspaces: what's inside and how to back it up

Tags: workspace, projects, reports, runs, drivers, config
What it is
A Workspace is the folder-based ‘automation home’ that stores suites, datasets, run outputs, logs, and configuration.

Why it’s needed
- Teams need a single, governable location for automation artifacts.
- Backups and retention are easier when everything is folder-based and explicit.
- Separating Workspaces avoids cross-project pollution and conflicting drivers.

Benefits
- Simple backups (copy the folder).
- Cleaner audits (clear evidence trail per project).
- Works well with network shares, encrypted volumes, and enterprise storage policies.

How to use it in WebSureQTool
Recommended structure (conceptual):
- /projects (suites + datasets)
- /drivers (Chrome/Edge drivers)
- /runs (run.json, junit.xml, etc.)
- /reports (report.html and related assets)
- /logs (execution logs)
Backups: snapshot the Workspace folder on your normal cadence (per sprint/release is common).
