ESTPLAN
Specifying data that is shared by multiple tests
The Testplan Detail dialog is dismissed, and the testcase statement is
inserted into the testplan. For example:
Assigning values to symbols
Placing a symbol name in the argument list of a testcase statement only
specifies the name of the symbol; you also need to define the symbol and
assign it a value at either the group or testcase description level, as
appropriate.
If you do not know the value when you are initially writing the testplan,
assign a question mark (?) to avoid getting a compiler error when you
compile the testplan; doing so will also cause the tests to be counted as
incomplete when a Completion report is generated.
Assigning values in
the Testplan Detail
dialog
Procedure To define symbols in the Testplan Detail dialog:
1
Place the insertion cursor in the plan where you need to assign a value to
a symbol. For example:
2
Select Testplan/Detail.
