no you should get something

here an example :
go to the directory where all tests are

cd /home/test/firebird/firebird/qa/trunk/testsuite

python qadbm.py

QADBM>platform linux
QADBM>target 2.0
QADBM> create /home/test/firebird/test2.1
QADBM> copy /home/test/firebird/test2.1

not yet yes

no to run test you should do the following (example continuing)
cd /home/test/firebird/test2.1
to run all tests :
qmtest run -C /mypath/context.txt

to launch gui
qmtest gui

and if you wanted to create tests, you can use qmedit
you have to launch it from the directory where you have your tests
(you can put if you wanted all the files that are into the qmedit directory from svn into 
the directory where you have you tests)
and then launch qmedit
python qmedit.py

or under windows, I think you can double click on qmedit.py to launch it

now you can see how we wrote tests, and you can get inspiration from that
