Result

timeout is an unsupported argument and hence invisible. To use it, you must specify both its value and header, in the cell to the right of last visible argument.
variable argument:
- If the variable in argument variable has not been declared, the action creates it as a global.
- If the variable argument is left empty, TestArchitect supplies a global variable with the name _result.
This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string <ignore> is present as the value of any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to <ignore>, the action is skipped during execution.
