Random variables

Random variables let you reuse a test with new values on each run. This is useful when a test always needs fresh data, such as creating a new user, because you don’t have to edit the test or the application between runs.

Use a random variable

1. Open Edit Steps for the test case and go to the step’s type field.
2. Clear the value and type __ (two underscores). Auto-suggest lists every random option.
3. Choose the option you need and save the test case.
