The Results File
A results file provides information about the execution of the testcase, script,
suite or testplan. By default, the results file has the same name as the
executed script, suite, or testplan, from which the testcase(s) was executed,
but with a .res extension. To change the default name and directory of the
results file, edit the Runtime Options dialog. For more information, see the
online Help.
The following is an example of a results file. This file was generated for the
testplan gmoc.t:

The starting time and the total elapsed time
