• ProjectSuite is the predefined name of the top-level object that provides access to your project suite. The object is available by default.

• Project is the predefined name of the top-level object that provides access to your project. The object is available by default.

• NetworkSuite is the predefined name of the top-level object that provides access to the Network Suite collection in your project. To access the object, you must have the Network Suite collection added to your project. See Adding and Removing Project Items and Their Child Elements.

• KeywordTests is the predefined name of the top-level object that provides access to a collection of keyword tests. To access the object, you must have the Keyword Tests collection added to your project. See Adding and Removing Project Items and Their Child Elements.

  KeywordTest_Name is the name of the keyword test that is added to the Keyword Tests collection of your project and whose variables you want to get. You can view the name in the Project Explorer panel.

• Variables is the property you use to get the collection of variables of the appropriate object.

• Variable_Name is the name of the needed variable of the specified variable collection. To access the variable, use its name as it is specified on the Variables page of the appropriate collection.

  Note:

  A variable name cannot coincide with the name of the object’s methods and properties (that is, you cannot name a variable AddVariable, VariableCount, VariableExists and so on).
