Variables Pane - Execution Tab

Variables Pane

The Variables pane displays the sequence context for the sequence invocation currently selected on the Call Stack pane. The sequence context contains all the variables and properties the steps in the selected sequence invocation can access.

The Variables Pane contains the following options:

  • Filter —Used to filter variables and properties by name. The filter is cleared automatically at the end of each execution - to clear the filter manually, click the X button. Use the Show match sub-properties option to display the sub-properties of containers that match the current filter.
    Note Array elements, including steps, are not filtered out unless all array elements and their sub-properties are filtered out.

Use the Variables pane to examine and modify the values of these variables and properties.

The Variables pane contains entries for each step in the sequence. To locate from the Steps pane a particular step on the Variables pane, select Show Step in Variables from the Steps pane context menu for a step on the Steps pane.

When execution is suspended, you can access the Variables Pane context menu by right-clicking the Variables pane.

You can sort the contents of the Variables pane. Click any column header to sort the view by the values of that column in increasing order. Click the column header again to sort the values in decreasing order. Click the column header a third time to restore the values to the unsorted order.

Note TestStand does not sort array elements or parameters on the Variables pane.
