Thanks Marc for the response. I don't necessarily need to write to Excel.The tests are not in the same project since i have to be able to run them as stand alone tests or tie them together for end to end test. I thought writing to Excel might work better and i am open to any solution.
You made 2 suggestions and i am using one already (1. "*in a file to read it as property later*"). Can you give me an example of how to implement the second suggestion (2."*you need an Ant extension if your different webtests are not in the same project *").
