WSDL documents that describe web services use various data types. Some of these types are not compatible with the Variant type used by TestComplete keyword tests and scripts. These data types are mapped to the Variant value that most closely matches that type. The following table describes which Variant values are used for typical data types used by WSDL documents. TestComplete also supports complex data types that contain elements of these types.
