to add them to the Selected scripts list.A QA Wizard Pro batch file is an executable that includes scripts and any associated datasheets or other called files. Batch files can be used to schedule groups of scripts to run unattended for a shorter, more thorough testing cycle. You can also use batch files to execute regression test suites as part of a nightly build process.
Batch files can include any files from the same workspace except other batch files.

5. To include other files from the workspace in the batch, click Add Additional Files. Adding the files to the batch prevents scripts that need access to other files from failing when the batch runs.
