   After you create a new transport with the transport wizard, the Device Kit creates a new project in your workspace. The name of this project is the name that was entered for Transport Name followed by "Transport".

   If you selected Create test project, the Device Kit creates a second new project in your workspace. The name of the test project is the name that was entered for Transport Name followed by "TransportTest".
