Global variables are also known as predefined or initial variables. These variables are defined before the execution of test cases. A good example will be "baseURL" and it can be used in all the test cases. Each project in vREST will have their own separate set of variables.
To define a global variable, follow the steps below:
- Select the "More" > "Global Variables" option in "Test Cases" tab's toolbar
- Then select the project and define the variables for the selected project
Note on Share Value Column: If "Share Value?" column is ticked, only then this variables value is shared among other team members of this project else team members will be having these variables, but the values will be shown as blank and they have to fill in their own values for these variables. Possible use case might be, every team member uses their own credentials for the authentication. For these type of variables, share value column can be un-ticked.
