The ITE lets you use various different types of parameter:
Concrete values (Section 3.13.2, “Entering concrete values as data in Test Cases”).
Referenced parameters (Section 3.13.3, “Using references for data in Test Cases”).
Variables (Section 3.13.5, “Using variables as data for Test Cases”).
Functions (Section 3.13.6, “Using functions as data for Test Cases”).
You can use these parameters separately, or you can combine them to create a parameter value. This is useful if a value you want to enter or check consists of parts that change and parts that stay the same.
To combine different types of parameter to make one value, you must write them in a specific way:
Referenced parameters must be written with curly brackets around the reference name:
={REF_NAME}
Variable names must also be written with curly brackets around them:
${VAR_NAME}
Concrete values are written as normal.
For example, you can build a data string that contains all four types of data:
test_={PROJECTNAME}_${CUSTOMERNUMBER}_?now()
