If you would like to manually script then this is how we do it:Assume that 1. there is a testcase called 'test1(STRING sData)' in 'script1.t' script file2. there is a testplan called 'plan1.pln'Now, if you want to pass the parameter to the testcase from the plan file then include these statements in the 'plan1.pln' file:script: script1.t //script: is a keyword used to specify the script file (absolute path also can be specified)$sData = "Data to pass" //Declearing a variable called sDatatestdata: sData //testdata: is a keyword and is used to specify the parameters to the testcase testcase: test1: //testcase: is a keyword which is used to specify the testcase to be called

In silk test when you have a testcase in .t file (Script file) and if you want to pass the parameters from plan file You must go to plan file and write the group description of that script and keep the cursor on that and then Go to Test plan in Tool bar and click on Detail. Then you get a window there where you are asked to fetch your testcase and script name and add the test data i.e Parameters and click OK. They get added in your plan file and then click on Run Option and run the testcase required.
