I want to extract some coded steps from my test to use it by different tests. These coded steps work with variables defined in test and these variables are different in different test.
// define variable
public static string accountEmailDomain = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyMMddHHmmss") + ".com";
 
 
// use it in code
[CodedStep("Enter text in 'Account_EmailDomain'")]
public void Fill_AccountEmailDomain1()
{
  Pages.AccountWindow.FrameContentIFrame.Account_Emaildomain.MouseClick();
  Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.TypeText(accountEmailDomain, 50, 100);
}
I want to extract CodedStep to separate test, but how I could pass variable 'accountEmailDomain' from current running test?
I only guess to do it like
// use it in separate test
[CodedStep("Enter text in 'Account_EmailDomain'")]
public void Fill_AccountEmailDomain1()
{
  Pages.AccountWindow.FrameContentIFrame.Account_Emaildomain.MouseClick();
  Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.TypeText(Test1.accountEmailDomain, 50, 100);
}
but I need to pass testname to this separate test.

Please suggest.

Hi Alexander,
you can store this variable within a static variable in a Utility class. Here's how to create a Utility class (also includes a static variable of type INT)

Just follow the same approach.
