Thanks Glenn! I'm finding the Pause functionality very helpful, i.e., if I have a half hour in between other things, I do the next part of the test run, press Pause, and then send the latest results in, and then come back later again and continue where I left off. That means I don't need to do everything at once, but in stages. Very helpful.
