As far as repeating the login process in each script - maybe you are already
doing this, but we have a login module, and include it in each script with
!ENTITY (I noticed in the sample project that comes with WebTest, they do
this with macros instead), so that way the steps to log in are only in one
place. Is that what you mean? I can send you an example if you want.
Passing variables between tests, do you mean you want to capture the
variable in one test, like pulling a value out of the http, and pass it to
the next test? Or are you just talking about setting variables? In some
cases we set the property in the script just after the property tag:
<property name="fid" value="1"/>
Other times (when multiple scripts need the same properties for example) we
put properties in a separate file and again use !ENTITY to include them.
I know there are people who have done tutorials and classes in WebTest,
maybe they can share some of their course material?
