Store response text in a global variable

In my opinion, this is a perfect example of where NOT to use Global Variables. Global vars are meant to be static values, and should not change between any 2 runs of your test cases/suites. Can it be done? Sure. Should it be done? Debatable. There are better ways of passing vars between test cases where the lifetime of the variable reference is the lifetime of the suite; no longer, no shorter.

See my topic on how to handle this problem:

How to pass variables between test cases in a suite (the "right" way...)

Hey all, I would just like to share a super simple approach to passing variables between test cases in a suite, as I’ve seen many topics over the years with questions on how to do this efficiently. To be clear, there are already several approaches to this, including, but not limited to: 1.) Creating “empty” GlobalVariables in a Profile, assigning values to those variables at runtime, then consuming them as a global variable in later scripts. This approach works fine, but in my opinion is non…
