No.  Variables are emptied and re-initialized between test executions.

    Object type variables have global visibility scope and can be used to obtain an object from any keyword test or script unit or to exchange data between tests or units. These variables are available even when a test run is terminated and script variables do not exist.

     

     

     

    If all your steps are being run in one pass inside one project or project suite, then you have project variables or project suite variables that will persist.  Once the test run ends, then the values are gone.
