Hi @allen,

The typical way of doing this is to keep track of active test step runs using a dictionary, mapping GUID to TestStepRun.

Since we had no example of it I have added one in a pull request, maybe you could check it out.

Its on Github: [Example Result Listener](https://github.com/opentap/opentap/blob/be604866bacda336b38115ae7473ba1ff0cf8eaf/sdk/Examples/PluginDevelopment/ResultListeners/ExampleResultListener.cs)

Look for what is done with `activeTestStepRuns`.
