Add variables in Step.Result.Common for test only

[ptitenif]

Hello everyone,

As mentionned in the title, I use TestStand 2024, I would like to add a string "myID" for each test (Pass/Fail, Numeric, Multiple, String).
For my traceability plugin, I need  to put it in the Step.Result.Common of the test step.

 

My request here is to know what is the best practice to add and fill this variable?

If it is for testing only, use the post-expression to add whatever you want using the API.

like Step.Result.Common.SetValString()

If you need it permanently, I'd recommend defining a custom step type.

You can add the expression to set the property,

Thanks,

if I want to have something permanently, without writting at each time the same thing , but I want to avoid custom type. 

Is there a solution?

A second question : if I create a custom type, how can I prevent another sequence developer from using the original test instead of the new one?

Create you own company / department type palette and distribute it to your colleagues.
