How does one execute the following:

def result1 == WebUI.callTestCase() whatever

if(result1 == ‘Passing’){  
WebUI.callTestCase()\_Whatever2  
}

The method, callTestCase, has a return type of Object, so you might do something like:

```auto
def result1 = WebUI.callTestCase(findTestCase('TC1'), [:], FailureHandling.OPTIONAL)

if (result1.toString() == 'Passed') {
    WebUI.callTestCase(findTestCase('TC2_Whatever2'), [:], FailureHandling.OPTIONAL)
}

```

and inside TC1 return a String Object, like

```auto
...
if (condition) {
    return 'Passed'
} else {
   return 'Failed'
}

```

Another method that I have used was to use GlobalVariables of a Map, or a List depending on need to pass between the called Test Case and the running one.

```auto
GlobalVariable.gTempHolder = [];

WebUI.callTestCase(findTestCase('TC1'), [:], FailureHandling.OPTIONAL)

for (int i = 0; i < (GlobalVariable.gTempHolder as List).size(); i++) {
	WebUI.comment('values are ' + GlobalVariable.gTempHolder[i].toString())
}

```

and inside the test case, ensure you have:

```auto
import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable

```
