Qualitia Automation Studio (QAS) allows adding environment variables to use any particular parameter multiple times during the course of the project. Once added, user can use these variables to add static or parameterized data for test case developments. This reduces hassle of adding the same parameter multiple times and saves time when developing test cases.
This option is enabled in Develop, Execute, and Report screens of QAS - Client.
These Environment Variables are project specific and each project shall have its own set of variables. These variables can be used across tasks and test cases in a particular project.
Managing Environment Variables
You can manage Environment Variables through Version Control. Qualitia QAS provides the following two types of Environment Variable values:
Active Value: This value will be local value and will always be selected by default for Execution.
Global Value: This value will be shared across all users, provided version control is configured. It will be shared automatically whenever it is created.
