I can see that the scripts use the explicit name of the file for analyze and run_test TCL commands. However, it is also possible to just do a file search and with the filenames in a list, iterate over the list and call analyze or run_test for each of them.

Why isn’t it done in this way?

Also, I was expecting to see a whole lot of commands that only compile the files and then, a whole lot of commands to run tests. But then I realized that since each testcase has a different configuration in its architecture, we compile one file and run simulation and then move to the next file. So the TCL scripts compile all files except the test cases, these are compiled using run_test command and this causes the test to be run as soon as that file has been compile.

Is my understanding correct?
