Calculate a dynamic value each test

[Gra_Nap]

Hi there!

I would like to use a variable which should be calculated each test. 

For example, I would like to use a particular date (e.g. 01.05.2019).

I choose the "Keys" operation and set 01.05.2019 as Value. 

Next time I want to use another value (e.g. 01.06.2019) but it should be updated automatically. 

How can I set a rule to update my current value automatically and add one month each test like:

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Something like this (untested pseudocode):

var strDT = aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(aqDateTime.AddMonths(aqDateTime.Now(), 1), '%d.%m.%Y');

<control>.Keys(strDT);

Thanks for the feedback!

Could you advise how a code which generates the required variable could be implemented in a KeywordTest?

Currently, I do not use scripts so I'll appreciate any assistance regarding the matter.

You can add bits of code to a keyword test with this:

You can also change the type of text you want to type from Constant~String to Code Expression.
