An environment variable with name starting "Test." will be copied to context parameter. For example if the environment variable Test.ForWebTest is set to the value ForMyWebTest then the Visual Studio web test context parameter ForWebTest will be set to the value ForMyWebTest.

See here for additional details.

Remember that the environment variable must be set before the test starts and in an environment that the test will inherit.
