Working with Multiple Scripts
TestComposer is an MDI (Multiple Document Interface) enabled application, i.e. it enables you to have multiple test scripts the main script called Main_Procedure and additional procedures open in the GUI at any given time. Although not restricted to this particular work scenario, using the MDI functionality is mostly useful when editing a test script that references inside its body one or more shared (external) procedures.
Assuming, for example, that you have a test script that calls shared procedures, you can view and edit the referenced procedures at the same time. If at any moment you wish to modify a referenced procedure, you can open it in a separate tab and work on it, while also keeping the initial test script open (Figure:MDI Functionality - Supporting Multiple Open Test Scripts). Eventually, when you save the procedure, the changes become visible in the script that calls the procedure.

When you switch between the TestComposer Edit and the Debug mode, the multiple open scripts/procedures are preserved.
When working with multiple scripts, the information tabs from the Edit and the Debug views, common for all scripts, display information pertaining to the currently active test script.
