Passing Test Outputs as Parameters in a series of Call to Tests

I'm putting together a series of end-to-end test cases, and would like to know if its possible for the tester to record an output value during test execution that can feed into proceeding steps as a parameter.

 

A stripped down version of my end-to-end Order Fulfillment test as an example:

 

Call to Test 1 - Place Order

Parameters - Customer, SKU, Quantity

Outputs - Order Number

 

Call to Test 2 - Ship Order

Parameters - Order Number

  • You can create a custom field for test case execution that can be filled in, but it's not possible to pass this value to the next step as a parameter (during test case execution).

      Hi Marti,

       

      When I create custom fields for my test cases, there doesn't seem to be an option to pick and choose which custom fields show up per test case. As our test cases have many possible outputs, it does not seem to be an elegant solution to fill in 1 of 100+ possible outputs. I may be mistaken here, so please correct me if I'm wrong 😛

       

      Are there plans to implement this in the future? I would love to be able to define outputs in a test case, and then call them as parameters in proceeding tests when using the call-to-test feature.

       

      Thank you,
