Adding Script Output Parameters

Scripts can receive data from a visual test in an input parameter, and, conversely, pass data to visual tests in an output parameter.

In the Properties pane, right-click and choose Add Output Parameter.
The Add Script Output Parameter dialog box opens.
In the Name text box, type the name of the parameter that you want to pass to the visual test.
Valid characters for parameter names include uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric characters and the underscore ("ABC", "abc", "_"). If a parameter name being added or edited is a duplicate of another parameter name, supply a unique name for the parameter.
From the Type list, select the data type of the local variable in the visual test for which you want to pass data.
