File API
NOTE: Environment variable templates can be used in filenames. For example,
%AppData%\\Adobe.
For performance reasons, it is important to use the same case when specifying the same file name in
multiple calls. Even though the windows file system is not case-sensitive, the test result cache is case-
sensitive.
