122. Executing more than one testcase. suppose in first testcase has one functions that is returning some string value. How to use first test case value into second test case

Answer1:
At the top testcase , to declare something like:
create a global variable gPersonReferenceNumber and pass this into testcases as required.

void TestScriptSetup()
SetAppState ("YOURAPPSTATE")
gPersonReferenceNumber = CreateMinimalTestPerson()

testcase CallGlobalReference() appstate none
string sPersonString = gPersonReferenceNumber

etc
TestScriptSetUp() will be ran prior to CallGlobalReference. You can also include this into your recovery system if need be.

CreateMinimalTestPerson() returns a string value related to PersonID or whatever you would require

Answer2:
1. Use some public (global) variables to store your value
2. Writed testcase to return values, whatever you want and use it in later testcases..

Answer3:
To put it into an ini file or the registry.

Answer4:
Set the values in environment variables by SYS_SetEnv () and use them by SYS_GetEnv () wherever, whenever you want......Global variables also do this, but when you call the test cases from a plan file, global variables get reset......
Other alternative are to store them in a file and use them .
