Global variables can be used as input parameters for function calls. They are 

configured with an initial value, which makes them useful when you need to 

have the same value used for multiple function calls. Each time a test run begins, 

global variables are initialized with a defined initial value.

Procedure  To create a global variable:

On the Objects tab, right-click an object in the Objects tree and select 
New Global Variable from the context menu. The Define a global 
variable dialog appears. 

Enter a name for the variable in the Variable Name field.

Select a Variable type from the drop-down list: boolean, byte, short, int, 
long, char, float, double, or java.lang.String.

Specify an initial value for the variable in the Initialize Value field. 

Click OK.

Procedure  To define a verification for an output value:

Once you have stored an output parameter value in a variable you can 
specify a verification rule for the variable.

Click the Verification (...) button in the Output Data Properties window 
to open the Verification Wizard.  
-

Select No Verification if you don’t want the value to be verified. 

-

Select Verification with NULL or variable to achieve one of the 
following:
o

Verification that the value is NULL

o

Verification that the value is not NULL

o

Verification against an existing variable, a public member of a 
variable, or an element of an array
