This document provides steps to pass parameters between actions in QuickTest Professional (QTP). It describes creating an input test parameter, then defining input parameters for two actions - Action1 and Action2. The input for Action1 is parameterized to pull the value from the test parameter, and Action2's input is parameterized to pull from Action1's parameter. This allows passing the test parameter value through both actions, demonstrated by displaying the parameter value in a message box in Action2.

1. QTP Tutorial 5 - Passing Parameters between Actions
This short tutorial guides you to the process of passing parameters between Actions in
QuickTest Professional (QTP).

Action1.
1) Open a new test.
2) Go to Insert -> Call to New Action.
3) Select the "After the current step" radio button.
4) Click <OK>. The new action should be inserted into Action1.
Example:
Action1
Action2
Step-2: Define an input test parameter:
1) Go to Test -> Settings.
2) Select the Parameters tab.
3) Click the add button (+) for the Input parameters.
4) Enter the following values:
5) Name: TestParam
6) Type: String

Step-3: Define an input parameter for Action1:
1) Right-clicking on Action1 and select Action Properties.
2) Select the Parameters tab.
3) Click the add button (+) for the Input parameters.
4) Enter the following values:
5) Name: Action1Param
6) Type: String
7) Click <OK>.
Step-4: Parameterize the input action parameter in Action1: So that it pulls the value from the
parameter defined in the test settings.
1) Right-click on Action1 and select Action Call Properties.
2) Select the Parameter Values tab.
3) Click on the cell under the Value column for Action1Param. You will see a button on the right of
the cell, click it.
4) Select the "Parameter" radio button. "Test Parameter" should be selected by default.
5) In the Name drop-down list, select "TestParam", which matches the input parameter created in
the test settings.
Step-5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for Action2:
1) Except name the input parameter Action2Param, and when parameterizing the input value,
select Action1Param from the Name drop-down list.
Step-6: In Action2 insert the following line using Expert View:

2. msgbox Parameter("Action2Param")
The above steps can be repeated if you wish to pass more Parameters
