Adding System Variables to Process Steps

System variables are predefined and used as read-only variables to data values during test execution. System variables contain system values that are added to process steps, but they cannot be part of a recordset because you can write to variables in a recordset.

Certify provides the following system variables:

  • Current locale
  • Current date
  • Current process name
  • Current recordset name
  • Current recordset row number
  • Last step status
  • Current user name
  • Current layout name
  • Current machine name
  • Documents directory

To add system variables to process steps:

  1. In the Process Editor, create a new process or open an existing process.

  2. Click the Steps tab.

    The Steps tab opens.

  1. Add a new step or select a step in which you want to add the system variable.

  2. In the Parameters tab, click the Select Variable button.

    The Select Variable dialog opens.

  1. In the Navigation pane, click the System Variables folder.
  2. In the Variables Summary pane, select a system variable:
  3. AUT Locale
  4. Date
  5. Last Step Status
  6. Layout Name
  7. Machine Name
  8. My Documents
  9. Process Name
  10. Project Name
  11. Recordset Name
  12. Recordset Row Number

    The system variable is added to the step.
