Testoptimal exposes a set of system maintained variables to mscript. These system variables describe the current state of the model execution, for example current state ID, transition ID, etc.

The following are system variables. Do not use the same name for your user variable or data set name.

• AUTVersion: AUT version
• curStateID: current state
• curStateTravCount: number of times the current state has been visited (traversed)
• curTransEvent: current transition event
• curTransTravCount: number of times the current transition has been triggered (traversed).
• curTransTags: requirement/tags of the current transition
• exceptionNum: number of exceptions so far has been triggered.
• mCaseExecNum: number of times the current mCase has been executed.
• mCaseName: name of current mCase being executed.
• modelName: name of the model currently open
• modelRelativePath: relative path for the model currently open
• modelAbsolutePath: absolute path for the model currently open
• modelDesc: model description
• modelVersion: version number assigned to the model
• prevStateID: previous state leading to the current state
• prevTransEvent: the transition that led to the current state
• seqNum: generated sequence number (starting at 1).
• tagVersion: Version number of the requirement/tag system
• targetStateID: target state
• threadID: virtual user thread number.

System variables are retrieved by “$getSysVar()” method. For example:

  <log msg="current trans event id is: $getSysVar('curTransEvent')."/>

System variables can be retrieved using token syntax. For example:

  <log msg="current trans event id is: [curTransEvent]."/>

Please be aware that there is a little overhead in using token syntax.
