What I can see, you have two options, either use one function (like @Bernhard described above), and branch depending on directory (just like he said), or, you could put the parameters in the directories. Come to think of it, it doesn't have to be scripts, you could just put a file (touch .TESTNO; echo 2 > .TESTNO) in each directory, and then, in your function, look for that file, and branch according to what test number the .TESTNO file contains. Although not at all difficult, you probably cannot use an alias for this; you must use a function.
