Automatic variables

- [Instructor] In this video, I want…to introduce you to a very powerful Robot Framework…feature called automatic variables.…So if you go to Google, and type…in robot framework user guide, and click on this link.…Notice we're on Robot Framework version 3.0.…You hit Ctrl + f, and type in automatic variables.…Notice it finds it here in your table of contents.…Click on that, and you're taken to this grid here,…that contains a list of out-of-the-box variables…that exist in the bowels of the Robot Framework.…

So as your test is executing,…these variables are all available to you.…You can check their contents and do…some useful conditional things.…So notice you have things like,…what is the current test name?…What are the current test tags?…You can interrogate the test documentation.…You can even find the previous test name…that just executed, and the previous test status.…So of course, you can imagine that if you had a test case…that was somehow dependent upon a previous test case,…that maybe you could use a conditional…
