Parameters

Creating parameters

You can create parameters for each test case within a test set. You can add a maximum number of 250 parameters, each required to have a unique name in the context of a test case.

Parameters can only be of type String.

Open the test case to which you want to add parameters.
Go to the Parameters tab.
Select Create Parameter and fill in the fields below:
1. Name - Give the parameter a unique name.
  When you name the parameter, you can use letters, numbers, spaces, and the following characters: -, _, ,, and ..
  
  For example, name the parameter as adminName.
2. Default value - Type the default value of the parameter.
  Remember that parameters can only be of type String.
  
  This Default value field is not mandatory, so if you leave it empty, then the parameter will be an empty string.
  
  For example, set the default value to JohnDoe.
3. Hint - Offer additional information about the information that the parameter holds.
  For this example, add the following hint: The supervisor of the organization.
Select Create to create the parameter.

Editing parameters

After you create parameters, you can edit them, according to your use case.

Open the test case for which you want to edit a parameter.
Go to the Parameters tab.
Select Edit next to the parameter that you want to edit.
In the Edit Parameter window, update the fields that you want to change.
Select Save to save the changes.

Using parameters in manual testing

You can use parameters in manual or automated testing with the default values that you set for each test case. Or you can override the default parameter values for the test cases within a test set. For information on overriding parameter values, visit Overriding parameters.

To run a test case using parameters, follow these steps:

Create a new test case.
Depending on the execution type you want to use, follow these steps:
- Manual execution:
  1. Go to the Manual Steps tab and add manual steps.
  2. To reference parameters into the manual steps, input their name between double curly brackets.
    For example, to add the username parameter inside a manual step, reference it as {{username}}.
- Automated execution: During the automated execution of a test set, the Studio arguments from the automation corresponding to each test case are automatically applied as parameters in Test Manager.
