Declaring Parameters in Test Settings

[MaluR]

Hi,

Please tell me how declaring the Parameter using
File --->Test Settings -->parameters
differs from declaring the Parameters pertaining to each action using
Edit ---> Action Properties.

[Anshoo_Arora]

The first one (File->Test Settings->Parameters) declares parameters for the "entire test" whereas the second one (Edit->Action Properties) is for an individual action.

The first one (File->Test Settings->Parameters) declares parameters for the "entire test" whereas the second one (Edit->Action Properties) is for an individual action.

Instead of declaring the parameters in the Action properties,if the parameters for action are also declared in the Test Settings.Will QTP recognise the parameters?
