testRunner/Context Object in groovy script

Question

Hi Guys,

Need some help in understanding the usage of testRunner and Context variables. Usage of both the variables looks same to me. e.g. below code returns the same value. so, I should use which approach.

def project1 = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project
log.info project1
def project = context.testCase.testSuite.project
log.info project

It would be great if you can share your experience in understanding the usage of these variables.

Thanks,
Harish

Context - http://www.soapui.org/apidocs/com/eviwa ... ntext.html

TestRunner - http://www.soapui.org/apidocs/com/eviwa ... unner.html

To me TestRunner object is usually used to control the test run (start, stop, etc). And to get the information on test suite, project, steps, etc.
Context is typically used as a session placeholder for variables you want to instantiate and later refer to.
