Hello,

What would be the best way to pass a collection of objects (both native data such as strings, ints, etc and custom objects) from one test to another?

I was considering using GetExtractedValue()/SetExtractedValue().  Since both of these take an 'object' as a parameter, I was wondering if I it would be possible to pass it a collection object (such as Array, List, etc) cast to 'object' if necessary - the called test would then 'uncast' it back to the collection object for use.  Two issues with that approach:
a) Still researching how to cast and uncast
b) It is probably not type-safe

Please let me know if there is a better way to accomplish what I need.

Please note that I am on TS 2012.2.1420.0 and developing tests in VS 2010 (C#/.NET) with the Test Studio Addin.

Thanks,
Shashi

Hello Shashi,

If you would like to create global variables or functions in Test Studio Standalone version that are accessible from all the tests within the test project, you can create a utility class. This class will contain the intended functions or variables.

Let me know if this helps.
