Load Script

Note

By default, ReadyAPI does not run the Load script for security reasons. To turn off this restriction, deselect the Disable the Load and Save project scripts option on the Global Security page of the ReadyAPI preferences.

Save Script

The Save script is run when you save the project. You can use the Save script to store external information used in the project.

Note
