What is the syntax for a Business Parameter?

• A. {BP[ParameterName]}
• B. {PL[ParameterName]}
• C. {PL(ParameterName)}
• D. {PL<ParameterName>}

Answer: (B)

In Tosca, a placeholder is used to pull in a value from a parameter at run time. For a Business Parameter, the standard form places the parameter type and name inside curly braces with the name in square brackets. That exact syntax is {PL[ParameterName]}. The PL tag identifies the source of the value, and the square brackets specify which parameter to use. For example, {PL[CustomerID]} will substitute the current value of the CustomerID business parameter when the test runs. The other formats (using parentheses or angle brackets, or using a different tag) don’t match this convention, so they wouldn’t resolve to the intended business parameter value.
