parameters

[poojaprasanthi1919]

- declared a,b,c parameters in action1
a as random variable
b,c are test/action parameters

in test settings i have set default values of b,c as hello,world respectively

in action1 - action properties - parameters - set the values of b,c as pooja,prasanthi resp.

in action1 - action call properties - parameters - set the values of b,c to test/action parameters

Code:

Action1 - expert view - Msgbox("a"),("b"),("c")
Action2 - expert view -
  for i=1 to 3
      Runaction "Action1", oneIteration, RandomNumber("arg_a")
  next

Test result is pass
but

thre random number is generated 3 times then for the subsequent iterations the 3rd random no is repeated
ex : for 5 iterations - 23,67,13,13,13
for 6 iterations - 99,100,21,21,21,21

for b,c
for the first time - action1 is run - takes test/action parameter default values
for the second time when action 2 calls action1 - it is taking action parameters default values.

ex hello,world
pooja,prasanthi
pooja,prasanthi
....


regards pooja

if you use 'RandomNumber' with a name then it generating new number will depend on the action iteration or test iteration, its is generated once per action/test or once for entire test depend on the configuration setting you. (see more info in QTP help)

I will suggest you to not to use the name in the parameter while using RandomNumber for this case
use start number and end number for the args of function

Code:

for i=1 to 3
Runaction "Action1", oneIteration, RandomNumber(0,100)
next
