Manually Adding Global Variables
Note The Output Value Wizard can also be launched by clicking the
Customize button on the Workflow bar, or by right-clicking an
output parameter in the Output Data pane.
2 In the Output Value Wizard, define a name for the output value variable
in the Var iab l e na me field.
3 Define the scope of the variable. The default scope is Local, which
means that the variable can only be used with the test case within which
it has been created. Global scope means that the variable can be used
with any test case. Global scope enables you to pass information between
test cases.
4 Click OK.
Manually Adding Global Variables
Global variables can be shared between test cases. This differs from local
variables, which are only available to specific test cases.
Note Global variables can also be created by using the global scope
setting in the Output Value Wizard (see “Storing Output Values in
Vari ab le s” for details).
