Answer / prathyusha
Environment Variables are used to get the basic information of system .
we do have two types
1.inbuilt environment variables
2.user-defined environment variables
Inbuilt environment variables used to get the basic information of system like test name,action name,user name,os
Eg: Environment.value("User Name")
User defined environment variables
two types
a.Internal environment variables
b.external environment variables
Internal Environment Variables are used to pass the values form one action to another action.
External environment Variables are used to store the master credentials of application.For this we can use Xml files to store the information and we can associate these files to the test and we can read the value using Environment.value("some variable").
