Extracting test name

[Carl]

Is there a way to extract the test name and then use it later to build a spreadsheet name that binds with subtests?

If you added references to the two .dll's pictured in the screenshot, you can do the following inside of a coded step:

SetExtractedValue("testName", this.ExecutionContext.Test.Name.ToString());

Or, if you're doing it all in one coded step, and don't need to use the name anywhere else, you would just do:

string testName = this.ExecutionContext.Test.Name.ToString());

Hi Carl,

@Aaron: thank you for pointing the right approach in this case.

The dll that have to be referred to the project are:

- System.Runtime.Serialization.dll - which is a .NET provided one
- Telerik.TestStudio.Interfaces.dll - provided by Test Studio and located in installation directory \Bin folder

then the line to extract the test name is same:

string testName = this.ExecutionContext.Test.Name.ToString();

I hope this clarification helps.

Kind Regards,
