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.

...

$$_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.

...

• If Platform under configuration settings is set as Android, returns as TRUE.

• If Platform under configuration settings is set as iOS, returns as FALSE.

...

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 for execution accordingly.

$$_ISIOS

This system variable stores a Boolean value for iOS mobile platform.

...

• If Platform under configuration settings is set as iOS, returns as TRUE.

• If Platform under configuration settings is set as Android, returns as FALSE.

...

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 for execution accordingly.

$$_ISWINDOWS

This system variable stores a Boolean value for Windows platform. This It is generally used when executing test cases using Offline Package.

...

• If platform is Windows, returns as TRUE.

• If platform is not Windows, returns as FALSE.

...

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 for execution accordingly.

$$_ISLINUX

This system variable stores a Boolean value for Linux platform. This It is generally used when executing test cases using Offline Package.

...

• If platform is Linux, returns as TRUE.

• If platform is not Linux, returns as FALSE.

...

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 for execution accordingly.

$$_ISMAC

This system variable stores a Boolean value for Mac platform. This It is generally used when executing test cases using Offline Package.

...

• If platform is Mac, returns as TRUE.

• If platform is not Mac, returns as FALSE.

...

This variable can be used to verify the execution device is Mac. Once this is identified, tasks can be added to be executed for execution accordingly.

$$_ISFIREFOX

This system variable stores a Boolean value for Execution browser type.

...

• If Browser Type under configuration settings is set as Firefox, returns as TRUE.

• If Browser Type under configuration settings is set as other than Firefox, returns as FALSE.

...

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 for execution accordingly.

$$_ISCHROME

This system variable stores a Boolean value for execution browser type.

...

• If Browser Type under configuration settings is set as Google Chrome, returns as TRUE.

• If Browser Type under configuration settings is set as other than Google Chrome, returns as FALSE.

...

...

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 for execution accordingly.

$$_ISIE

This system variable stores a Boolean value for execution browser type.

...

• If Browser Type under configuration settings is set as Internet Explorer, returns as TRUE.

• If Browser Type under configuration settings is set as other than Internet Explorer, returns as FALSE.

...

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 for execution accordingly.

$$_ISSAFARI

This system variable stores a Boolean value for execution browser type.

...

• If Browser Type under configuration settings is set as Safari, returns as TRUE.

• If Browser Type under configuration settings is set as other than Safari, returns as FALSE.

...

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 for execution accordingly.

$$_MOBILE_APP_PATH_TYPE

This variable is used by Qualitia QAS 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. 

When executing offline package for mobile applications on Sauce Labs, Qualitia gives QAS provides provision to upload application under test either from local (or shared) location to Sauce Storage or make it available to Sauce using the public URL.

...

The key name in the StoreVariable action must be entered as "$$_Mobile_APP_PATH_TYPE" and the value of this key should either be Upload or PublicURL. Based on the value set in variable, Qualitia QAS uses the app path type at test case level when executing offline packages in Sauce Labs environment.

...

In both the cases, it is mandatory for user to give provide 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 QualitiaQAS. 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 QualitiaQAS. 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.
