Multiple Parameter files from iTestRT

Is there any way to use multiple parameter files from iTestRT?

We have a global "last-case" parameter file.

But when executing from iTestRT, we'd like to use a parameter file that has higher priority (i.e. overrides the Global parameter file, if there are duplicate parameters) in addition to using the Global parameter file for parameters that are NOT defined in the non-global one.

So far it seems iTestRT only allows a single parameter file to be passed in?? Doesn't really help with any inheritance... we'd end up duplicating a LOT of parameters across all of our Test Case parameter files unless we can somehow do the above.

Any help?

You may be right that you can only specify one parameter file at a time in iTestRT. iTest parameter files does have the concept of including other parameter files. You can do this using the "include tab" in the parameter editor. Could this meet your needs?

I can't seem to find this "Include" tab - How do I get to the "Parameter Editor"?

I have a Parameters tab for the Test Case - but I can't find an "Include" tab - so I assume that's different than the Parameter Editor?

File -> new -> Parameter File.

This file has three tabs. One is called the "include" tab.
