Built-in Environment Variables

Built-in Environment Variables:

QuickTest provides a set of built-in variables that enable you to use current information about the test and the QuickTest computer running your test. These can include the test name, the test path, the operating system type and version, and the local host name.

For example, you may want to perform different checks in your test based on the operating system being used by the computer that is running the test. To do this, you could include the OSVersion built-in environment variable in an If statement.

You can also select built-in environment variables when parameterizing values.

The following built-in environment variables are available:
