Using properties

Certain information may be the same in all testcases. Like the base url or the username and password you are using for your tests. In order to be able to switch such parmaters you can include them in property files and tell the testcase to include the properties.

Example

The following example assumes that you have your testcases in a directory called my_testcases.

1. create a property file

Create a property file called test.properties and save it in the same directory as your testcases. Put in the following line:

base_url=http://localhost/myapp

2. Use the property

Open one of your testcases and replace the following line:

get_html | http://localhost/myapp/test.page

with:

read_properties | my_testcases/test.properties
het_html | ${base_url}/test.page

Commands that support properties

• get_html
• set_textfield (the value can contain properties)
