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 related to a test and the computer Running the test. The information includes the test name, test path, operating system type, and version.
  • USER-DEFINED: Enables you to create a list of variables in an external file in the .xml format. You can use the variables from the .xml file as parameters in a test.

To view the environment variable list in the QuickTest Professional, from the QuickTest Professional menu bar, select FILE ? SETTINGS ? ENVIRONMENT. Select the variable type from the VARIABLE TYPE list.
