One way is to add your batch file as a TestedApps object and run it:

 

TestedApps.yourBatch.Run()

Hi Support,

Thank you for the quick response. 

 

I just needed a clarification on this question regards the arguments to be passed for the executable.

 

I have a exe which i call with 2 Arguments( ex:  ABC.exe Param1  Param2). In the TestedApps i note that the ABC.exe is listed with commandline parameters as "Param1 Param2".

 

Is there a way to change/parameterise the second argument alone(Param2)?.

 

Thanks and with regards,

Virkram U

    You should be able to access the parameters using the TestedApps object.  See the reference at https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/75248/ for the example.

     

    Essentially, you would access the SimpleParams object of your tested app, change the parameter to only include param 2, activate, and then run your app.
