Fetching data from other test case

Question

Hi&nbsp;Say I have Test 1 which creates a client record using first name, last name, dob etc using a parameter.&nbsp;Then, Test 2 is to about editing client records which were created in Test 1.&nbsp;Now, the first step of Test 2 is to find a client using first &amp; last name. Is there a way the first &amp; last name can be captured from what has been used in Test 1 parameter&nbsp; ? If yes, can someone please advise how do I do it ? Thanks

Then your best option would be using Project Variable,
&nbsp;

Store your values into Project Variables in 1st KeywordTest
Make use of that Project Variable in upcoming KeywordTests

This link&nbsp;will help you in work with Project Variable

Its a perfect solution. However, my application under test is written in Delphi and its WndClass in question is TomGridSite which appraently seems to be a closed application, therefore I am pretty restricted in terms of using this solution but thanks for your inputs though :smileyhappy:

What you&nbsp;mean by TestCase here?

Is it one TestItem
Is it a one KeywordTests
Is it a one function

Are you&nbsp;using KeywordTests or Scripting?
&nbsp;

If it is scripting you can use global variable in-order to access those values across all functions and units
TestComplete have the best bet for this kind of scenarios which is Project Variables, this can be used in KeywordTests as well as Scripting. For more details:&nbsp;https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/variables/collections/project-and-project-suite/index.html

Sorry, what I meant from Test Case was a Keyword Test and I am using KeywordTest and not Scripting. Thanks

I was also wondering how would a checkpoint work in that case.&nbsp;So for Keyword Test1 I validated that client X was created using&nbsp; property checkpoint.&nbsp;But since Keyword Test 2 edited the values of Test 1 from X to Y, how can I use checkpoint to validate that Y exist ? Specially if 'Y' is not a static value and it can be S, T or Q as well ? Thanks

Project Variable also not static variables, you can assign/change values whereever you want
