[@softwaretestingmentor]

Thank you Abhisek for your kind words! Regards, Manish

Nice!, one question please, why variable at test level & the keywords variable in the argument is lower case and we log a variable where it is in uppercase? as I understood in previous videos it is case sensitive.

[@manoranjansahu1680]

Sir, I have a doubt.Does robot framework support case-insensitive in variable declaration?

[@ashu5214]

You have to import that variable file like "Variables " under settings section.

Hi,
In your introduction to variabel scopes you mention 4 scopes:
- Global scope
- Test Suite scope
- Test Case scope
- Local scope.
In the video you only explain 3 out of the 4 mentioned scopes: Global scope, Test Case and Local.
You do NOT mention the Test Suite variable scope.

The variable in line 22 is not a global variable. This is a SUITE variable which is valid during the execution of this particular suite file. GLOBAL variables in turn are not explained in this video.
GLOBALs are created either by the command line switch --variable or the keyword "Set Global Variable". They are available in ALL suites.
