First parameters are created with their values, and then Data Set is formed in the Test Case. Parameters created in Configuration are populated in the Steps tab in the Test Case section of Test Management.

Creating a Parameter

Users with 'Configuration modify' access to the project can create and add parameters to the test case. You can also create parameters and their values from the Test Case module. Refer to Create Parameters and Values from Test Case for more details.

Example: QA manager needs a 'Display' parameter with 4 parameter values.

Below are the steps for parameter creation:

1. Go to QMetry menu > Configuration > Select your Project.

2. Under Project Configuration select Parameters.

3. Fill details mentioned below:

  • Parameter Name: Enter the Name of the Parameter. It should be unique across projects.

  • Description: Enter the text that explains the purpose of the parameter being created. Then click on Add.

  • Parameter Value: Enter values for the parameter.

A row gets added to the parameter. You can keep adding values as you require.
