Introduction
Qualitia Automation Studio (QAS) provides its own set of system variables that let you decide test case or task execution flow at run time. Qualitia System Variables act as global variables and can be accessed in any test case. You can use the values of these variables but cannot modify it in any test step. Data type of these variables can be integer, Boolean, and string values.

$$_STATUS
$$_IS_WEB_EXECUTION_PLATFORM_DESKTOP
$$_IS_WEB_EXECUTION_PLATFORM_MOBILE
$$_ISANDROID
$$_ISIOS
$$_ISWINDOWS
$$_ISLINUX
$$_ISMAC
$$_ISFIREFOX
$$_ISCHROME
$$_ISIE
$$_ISSAFARI
$$_MOBILE_APP_PATH_TYPE
$$_HTTP_STATUS
$$_HTTP_HEADERS
$$_HTTP_REPONSE_TIME
$$_STATUS
This system variable records and stores value of the status of the last executed step.
...
The status gets overridden after each step execution; therefore, using this variable, you can store the status of last step only.
This variable does not store value of the status of Conditional Steps such as IF, ELSE IF, ELSE, or END IF.
$$_IS_WEB_EXECUTION_PLATFORM_DESKTOP
This system variable stores a Boolean value for current desktop web execution platform.
...
This variable can be used where user wants to execute certain test steps based on the execution platform (Mobile and Desktop).
$$_IS_WEB_EXECUTION_PLATFORM_MOBILE
This system variable stores a Boolean value for current mobile web execution platform.
...
This variable can be used where user wants to execute certain test steps based on the execution platform (Mobile and Desktop).
$$_ISANDROID
This system variable stores a Boolean value for Android mobile platform.
...
This variable can be used to verify that the operating system (OS) of the execution device / emulator is Android. Once the OS is identified, tasks can be added to be executed accordingly.
$$_ISIOS
This system variable stores a Boolean value for iOS mobile platform.
...
This variable can be used to verify that the operating system (OS) of the execution device / simulator is iOS. Once the OS is identified, tasks can be added to be executed accordingly.
$$_ISWINDOWS
This system variable stores a Boolean value for Windows platform. This is generally used when executing test cases using Offline Package.
...
This variable can be used to verify that the operating system (OS) of the execution device is Windows. Once the OS is identified, tasks can be added to be executed accordingly.
$$_ISLINUX
This system variable stores a Boolean value for Linux platform. This is generally used when executing test cases using Offline Package.
...
This variable can be used to verify that the operating system (OS) of the execution device is Linux. Once the OS is identified, tasks can be added to be executed accordingly.
$$_ISMAC
This system variable stores a Boolean value for Mac platform. This is generally used when executing test cases using Offline Package.
...
This variable can be used to verify the execution device is Mac. Once this is identified, tasks can be added to be executed accordingly.
$$_ISFIREFOX
This system variable stores a Boolean value for Execution browser type.
...
This variable can be used to verify that the test case execution browser is set as Firefox. Once the browser is identified, tasks can be added to be executed accordingly.
$$_ISCHROME
This system variable stores a Boolean value for execution browser type.
...
This variable can be used to verify that the test case execution browser is set as Google Chrome. Once the browser is identified, tasks can be added to be executed accordingly.
$$_ISIE
This system variable stores a Boolean value for execution browser type.
...
This variable can be used to verify that the test case execution browser is set as Internet Explorer. Once the browser is identified, tasks can be added to be executed accordingly.
$$_ISSAFARI
This system variable stores a Boolean value for execution browser type.
...
This variable can be used to verify that the test case execution browser is set as Safari. Once the browser is identified, tasks can be added to be executed accordingly.
$$_MOBILE_APP_PATH_TYPE
This variable is used by Qualitia only when developing test cases for executing offline packages on Sauce Labs. You can use this variable to change the application path type (Upload or PublicURL) at test case level.
...
In both the cases, it is mandatory for user to give the absolute path to the application in the Mobile.OpenApp action parameter.
$$_HTTP_STATUS
This variable stores the HTTP request status when executing SOAP and REST API actions in Qualitia. You can use this value to form the test case flow based on your requirements.
$$_HTTP_HEADERS
This variable stores the HTTP headers after executing SOAP and REST API actions with Qualitia. You can use the values from the header to form the test case flow based on your requirements.
$$_HTTP_REPONSE_TIME
This variable stores the time taken to get the HTTP response. You can use this value to form the test case flow based on your requirements.
