Interact with the Test Browser GUI programatically?

I have a matlab project that contains a folder for of test classes at
test_path = "<project_root>/tests/"
This file is automatically added to the project search path by a startup script. I like the Test Browser panel in the GUI, however I find that each session I have to manually add my tests to the browser by clicking the "plus" icon and selecting my test path in the selection window.
Is there a way to modify my project settings or the startup script to automatically populate the Test Browser panel with my tests?
Thanks for the responses. Please note that I am NOT asking how to run tests or create test suites programatically here - I know how to do that using the testsuite and run- I'm specifically intersted in making the Test Browser panel populate automatically with my tests.

This does not seem to be possible -- the Test Browser GUI appears to be totally without any API interface and designed to be transient in that it doesn't retain prior state on restart.
Seems like a worthy enhancement to remove an annoyance, indeed...
