Add Parameters
Add Data Set
Use of Parameters in Steps
Sync Steps
Introduction
The Parameters functionality allows testers to execute the same test case multiple times with different data inputs; without having to create duplicate test cases. The functionality allows QA teams to store reusable test data in one centralized location. It also helps you to keep your test data consistent and manageable.
Example:
Below are the parameters with values:
Color Code
Display
Bluetooth Versions and
Tracker Version
The combination of parameter values creates a data set. Hence, first, we will create Parameters with their values, and then we will create Data Set using both.
Color Code | Display | Bluetooth Versions | Tracker Version |
|---|---|---|---|
1234 | OLED | Bluetooth v4.0 | Tracker Series 5 |
1237 | LED | Bluetooth v4.5 | Tracker Series 3 |
1236 | MOLED | Bluetooth v4.3 | Tracker Series 1 |
1234 | OLED | Bluetooth v4.1 | Tracker Series 2 |
Add Parameters and Values
Parameters are added from Configuration > Project Configuration > Parameters.
Testers have the capability to create parameters and corresponding values directly from the test case page, eliminating the need to always navigate to the Configuration > Parameters page. The added parameters and values shall be auto-created in the Configuration module.
→ Required Permissions: Users should have “Create” and “Edit” for the Test Case module and “View” and “Modify” permissions for the Configuration module.
Notes:
Apart from the Configuration module, Parameters and values can also be added from the Test Case module.
Parameters and values can be edited or deleted only from the Configuration module.
Steps:
Open the test case detail page and go to the Steps tab.
Expand the Parameters section.
Click on the Add Column option. A drop-down menu is added to the section with the list of existing Columns.
