ENVIRONMENT Parameters enable you to insert a value in your Test from an environment variable list. The value of an environment Parameter remains the same during the test playback, regardless of the number of Iterations, unless you change the value.
Types of environment variables available in QuickTest are:
BUILT-IN: Enables you to use information [...]
The random number input Parameter generates random numbers and uses them as input value for a parameter. By default, the random number ranges between 0 and 100.
A different random number is generated every time the parameter is called for every iteration or for every Test run.
You can modify these settings in the [...]
To parameterize an object property’s value in Object Repository:
Open the OBJECT REPOSITORY.
From the OBJECT REPOSITORY tree, select the object that changes dynamically.
In the Test OBJECT DETAILS section, click the VALUE field for the property that you want to modify. The CONFIGURE THE VALUE button appears.
Click the CONFIGURE THE VALUE button. The VALUE CONFIGURATION [...]
You can use parameterized expected values to make your Checkpoints dynamic. A dynamic CHECKPOINT is a checkpoint that can check for any value generated at run time.
You can set parameterized expected values on:
An object property in Object Repository
A checkpoint on a parameterized field
For example, if a checkpoint is dependent on an input value [...]
After you create an output Parameter, you can use the parameter value in subsequent steps of the Test.
During the test run the values of the output Parameters can be seen in the design-time table. Once test execution is complete, the run-time output values are stored in the runtime table of the test [...]
To insert an output value after Recording:
In ACTIVE SCREEN, right-click the object whose value you want to retrieve and select INSERT OUTPUT VALUE. The OBJECT SELECTION - OUTPUT VALUE PROPERTIES dialog box appears.
Click OK to verify the object. The OUTPUT VALUE PROPERTIES dialog box appears.

Output Parameter: Enables you to use output to capture values from the Application at run-time. You can get a value from the application and store it in the QuickTest Test Results. You can later use this value as an input to a variable.
Using Output Parameters:
An Output parameter is the value of a [...]
Input Parameter: Enables you to run a Test using different sets of input values.
For example, you can use Input parameter to select different destinations for the same source in the Flight Reservation Application.
Replacing Static Data with Input Parameters:
Input parameters enable you to replace a static recorded value in a step with [...]
