Hi Bob,
The test framework doesn't require the use or even presence of the command window. By default using runtests much of the output will indeed go there, but you can run the tests silently using a non default runner. For example, if you create a runner with no plugins installed it will be a completely silent run. It won't show you any diagnostics, it will simply run the tests and produce a result array that tells you which passed and which failed:
>> runner = matlab.unittest.TestRunner.withNoPlugins;
>> result = runner.run(testsuite(...));
The result will still give you valid information about whether the tests passed or failed. If you'd like to get more information such as failure diagnostics you could also write your own plugin. You should be able to get to some relevant documentation on how to do this by going here.
Here you could even write a plugin which takes the results and presents it directly in your app as you please.
Hope that helps. Andy
