Hi,

Do parameterization.

use input box

What type of input you are trying to get from user. If you want test data for different iterations of a test then use parameterization.

I want to get the username and password from user.

[ksrikanth2k9]

Enter username and password in the data table and refer them to your script.

In place of username write datatable("Column name",Global)
for password write datatable("Column name",Global)

Try this code -----

Code:

Dim Username,Password
UserName = inputbox("enter the username")
Password = inputbox("please enter the password")
msgbox Username
msgbox Password

I sometimes wonder, if in automation you want to have a user enter the values through inputbox? Doesnt it defeat the whole purpose of automation?

[tester_rahul]

What you are saying is correct. But as a language VB has provided the Inputbbox method to accept user inputs

You can use the below code to get the input from the user

Code:

A=INPUTBOX("Enter first value")
