Description according to "test-cloud.exe help submit":

--test-params [cspairs] - Additional test paramaters, format is comma-separated key:value pairs

I want to pass parameters to my tests by using that command.

Now how can I access these parameters inside the Tests.cs file?

If it's not possible, then is there any other way I can add parameters to my Test Cloud tests and then read them inside Tests.cs file?

Are parameters available to the test.cs file?

Unfortunately, No. Well, at least not at this time...

The parameters are currently only used for test setup. Although, that does sound like a nice enhancement. Perhaps you could share your idea on the XTC Ideas & Feature Requests page?
