How can I use external Data Source
Data-Driven Testing is when data is stored in a data source and then used as input for a test. With the TestProject platform, we give the ability to store many data sets in a data source. In order to access the information we define, we define the parameters we will use during our test, which I will explain in detail below.
I will use the most popular website to demonstrate the following test case:
- 1.
- 2.define search parameter that will be typed in the search box
- 3.Click on the search button.
Once the test is ready, we will download the 'Data Source Template' from our Project section:
- 1.close the recoded test
- 2.find your test from the Tests list
- 3.on the right side of your test, click on the three dots
- 4.Click on 'Data Source Template'
Now we will edit the CSV file we received. In the first line, you can see the two parameters we set: the URL and the search parameter. Each line below the parameter setting represents a test. We will build three test cases:
All left to do is run the test and select our Data Drive file:
- 1.from the tests list, choose your test and click on the run button
- 2.choose the platform you want to perform the test on
- 3.Click on 'next.'
- 4.tag 'Use data source'
- 5.add your CSV file and give it a name
- 6.run your test with the data source file
