<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>One of the most asked features for RCPTT is to execute a same test with different parameters.
I'm going to demonstrate how it is possible to achieve the same effect using Parameters Context.
As an example, let's test error messages in JDT New Class Wizard. We start with a Java project with a single class:</p>
<div class="screenshot">
<img src="https://www.eclipse.org/rcptt/shared/img/screenshot-parameters-context-tree-2.png"></img>
</div>
<p>At first, let's record an initial script which launches new class wizard, sets package and class name and asserts an error message:</p>
<div class="screenshot">
<img src="https://www.eclipse.org/rcptt/shared/img/screenshot-parameters-context-3.png"></img>
</div>
<p>Now, what we really want is to type various values into
Package and Name fields and make sure that error message changes accordingly.
As a next step, let's parameterize a script using Parameters Context:</p>
<div class="screenshot">
<img src="https://www.eclipse.org/rcptt/shared/img/screenshot-parameters-context-4.png"></img>
</div>
<p>Next, let's place a Parameters Context into a Test Case and use <b>$paramName</b> in a script:</p>
<div class="screenshot">
<img src="https://www.eclipse.org/rcptt/shared/img/screenshot-parameters-context-5.png"></img>
</div>
<p>Please learn more about more efficient way of script parametrization by
