Hi,
I like to use project and project suite variables to keep (runtime) test configuration data and to exchange dynamic data between tests (e.g. id of created account, list of ordered items, etc.)
The real advantage of project variables in the projects opened in the shared mode was that variables' values were personalized and the same variable could be used concurrently by the same test running at the same time on two different machines. Unfortunately, this great feature seems to be broken in the past versions of TestComplete and I am not sure if it is going to be fixed.
Another problem with project variables is that their values are stored in the project file not in clear text and TestExecute does not provide any means to change the value of some variable before test run. This makes it not convenient to store test configuration data just in project variables because it is not easy to set their values on the systems that have only TestExecute installed. Situation here is more clear: it was said that it is not planned to add any UI features to TestExecute to make it possible to set project variables.
