Answer / sushil
we use environment variable to make our variable global.
evironment variable can be used across different Script,
Scenario.
suppose u r connecting to database in the five script.
then better define global variable.
u can enter global varible in following way
qtp-->file-->test setting -->environment-->user defined(in
variable type)
or u can create xml file and upload.

Sushil u have given Answer.
the variables which has to be use in deffent scipts in
different environments( Likes different user
machines,different user logins)can be called as Environment
Variables.
This environment Variables are two types:
1) Built - In
2) User Defined.
1) Built - In : This variables activates only at run time.
and the values of this variables depends on the system
environment which the script is been executing.
For Example:
if u want to report to results that which user is
executed the script and which action has been executed and
on which operating system and how many Iterations u can use
like below.
reporter.Reportevent midDone, "Executed User","This
script is executed by :"&Environment.Value("UserName")
if u want to report Action Name : Environment.Value
("ActionName")
this values will change action by action.
User Defined:
Generally we put the comman variables in XML file
(External user defined Env. File) like URL of the
Application( This will common to all scripts are all
users) , Root_Path of the folder structer, Admin user and
admin password. like this.
this is becoz to avoid the hard coding. we should not
give chance to end users to modify the scripts. if URL of
the application is changed, simply he can change same in
XML file, and can execute.

Answer / tvsramakrishnachowdary
whenever the common values to be use in multiple scripts
than it is suggested not to declare local variables in all
the tests individually.It is better to declare all the
common variables in seperate environment file,attach it to
the required tests and use those variables inside the
tests.by doing this the advantage is in future if
environment is change and some of the valuues of those
variables need to be capturedinorder to make the scripts
compatable with the environment with the minimum efforts we
can update values in the environment file instead of
updating in all the scripts.....
