A number of useful values are provided at run time.

Test Specific Values

Test specific values are different across tests & runs but remain the same throughout a test run.

testNumber	Each test case run in DoesQA gets a unique ID, this number will never be used again, so is unique per test run (even running the same test results in a different ID).	854987
testSentence	Generates a space separated list of words beginning a capital letter and ending with a dot.	Voluptatum cupiditate suscipit autem eveniet aut dolorem aut officiis distinctio.

testLastName	A generated last name for the test. This value is the same throughout the entire test case.	Parker
