Project variables in LoadComplete can store various data types: numbers, strings, dates and so on. They can get their values from external data sources, such as databases, Excel and CSV files. Variables also can change their value on each use adding dynamic behavior to your test scenarios.
 |
We recommend that you select a variable whose data type matches the parameter data type. If LoadComplete fails to convert the variable value to the parameter data type, the test server may raise an error. |
