As tests grow, keeping track of variable changes can get complicated. To assist with this effort, we’ve added variable source attribution to the mabl Trainer and test run output. Now you can see the current variable value and the specific step number that last updated it.
In the Trainer
When creating or editing tests in the mabl Trainer, go to {x} > Manage variables to review all variables available in the test. The source column now indicates the step number that a variable was last modified by, if applicable.
In test output
Variable source attribution is also supported on the test run variables view.
- If a variable came from a previous test run in the same plan, the Initial values tab includes a link to the test it was exported from.
- If the variable value was created or overridden in the current run, the Final values tab indicates the step it was updated on.
We hope this will make tracing complex variable passing bugs much simpler. Let us know what you think!
