Sure enough, calling the keyword test via name works AMAZINGLY... Thanks, HKosova.

 

However, I still cannot assign parameters via the Test.Parameters object... I can access the parameters via the same bracket syntax but I cannot assign values to them outside of sending them to the call.

So... for those of you who want to know, here's what I'm doing right now...

function foo() {
    var TestName = 'TC101';
    var parameterlist = '\'value1\', \'value2\'';
    var testObject = KeywordTests[TestName];
    eval('testObject.Run(' + parameterlist + ')');
    
}

It's closer to what I want... but what I would REALLY love is to be able to completely get rid of the need for eval...  See my feature request here.
