How to auto increment the email address after each test execution?

Hey guys, I have a test case that in the very first step creates a new user. I need help on incrementing the email address after each test execution and store it as a property in the test case level...

Now I'm adding a time stamp, but this is not exactly what we need.

String generateUsername(String user)
{
date = new Date().format('MMddyy-HHmmss')
user = user + "+" + date + "@test.com"
}
user = generateUsername("qatester")

testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue( "email", user )
log.info user

    Here you go:

     

    1. Set initial value to a variable at test case level, say counter  = 0.

    2. Read variable test case variable count using getPropertyValue or context.expand('${#TestCase#counter}'), parset it as int, increment by one in the script you have.

    3. Do stuff what you wanted to do here // say, concatenate to another variable..

    4. Now set the updated counter back to property as string.

    You are done.
