Input to "Insert Test" is misleading

Issue #24 new
Chris Cilino created an issue

“Test Executive\Source\Test Executive\TestExecutive Ref\Insert Test.vi” gives the impression that an object is being inserted into the test executive. But what we are actually doing is inserting the class name. So this function should either take a string input or should be renamed to more clearly indicate its purpose. I’m classifying this as a bug in the API because it is misleading and there is no documentation.

    I think that the issue here is with documentation (or the lack thereof). In reality these methods for Create Test from Object and Get Test from Object shouldn’t be in the shipping API for the Test Executive. The end user can create these as an extension that fits their application. I left them in the shipping API because to date it is the only way the test executive has been used in real life projects. I am going to leave this bug open until we have proper documentation (possibly in a readme file for the package?).
