Global variables

Global variables (or shared variables) are sued to describe test environment. Variables are accesible from a test from the pamarater of the type global or list-global.

Add/delete a variable

The adding or removing of a variable can be done from the web interface or the REST API. JSON must be used in variable. There are autommatically availables from tests in properties.

Describe environment test

The description of a test environment must be respect the following rules. This type of init must be used with the reusable test /Snippets/Do/03_Initialize.tux
