Parameter Types - A.Saini - 09-28-2010
Hi,
How many types of parameters are available in QTP?
RE: Parameter Types - PrabhatN - 09-28-2010
Hi Ankur,
As far as I know there are 5 types of parameter in QTP.
They are as follows:
1. Test Parameter (Input/Output)
2. Action Parameter (Input/Output)
3. Data Table Parameter
4. Environment Variable (It can be used as a Global Parameter in a test)
5. Dictionary Object
The last two are not exactly Parameter but can be used as/thought of Parameter
Any modification/rectification/updation to this post would be appreciated
RE: Parameter Types - A.Saini - 09-28-2010
Hi Prabhat,
Thanks for reply !!
Actually I have used Action Parameter, Data Table Parameter,Test Parameter many times. I use Environment variable for Global data.
May you please explain Dictionary object?
I read at some place that QTP provides three types of Parameters like:
a) Method Argument
b) Data Driven
c) Dynamic
If I reate them, 'Data Driven' is equivalent to 'Data Table Parameter'.
but what about Method argument & dynamic?

We can use Random number parameter type also in script.

RE: Parameter Types - TurtleRock - 10-27-2010
Thanks for the reply,
I have already created one Dictionary object, I just want to pass it to another action using input parameter so that that action can use the items stored in it.
Using input output parameter we can pass strings, dates, boolean...etc data types to a particular action, I want to know is there any way to pass Object to action using input output parameter.
