Using Parameters: Education Services

This document discusses using parameters in QuickTest Professional testing workflows. It describes different types of parameters like input, output, random number, and environment parameters. It explains how to insert input parameters to drive data-driven tests, insert output parameters to capture values from tests, and parameterize checkpoints to make them more flexible. The objectives are to describe parameter types, insert input and output parameters, parameterize checkpoints, and evaluate iterative test results.
