# __threadGroupName

*Also documented in context in the [full Functions and Variables reference](/user-manual/functions/#__threadGroupName).*

The thread group name function simply returns the name of the thread group
being executed.

There are no arguments for this function.

Usage Example:

```bash
\${__threadGroupName}
```

> **Note**
> This function does not work in any Configuration elements (e.g. User Defined Variables) as these are run from a separate thread.
> Nor does it make sense to use it on the Test Plan.
