Important Information
- Qualitia Automation Studio v5.3.1 and above comes with a built-in Test Data explorer for adding/updating test data. Microsoft Excel does not need to be installed on the Qualitia Client machine.
- Qualitia Automation Studio v5.3.0 or below uses Microsoft Excel as a Test Data explorer. It is mandatory to install Microsoft Excel on the Qualitia Client machine.
Test data is the information used during the test case development. When developing test cases in Qualitia, you can provide data in 2 ways:
Static Data
As the name suggests, static data has a single static value to be used when executing test cases. Static data is given in the parameter section against each action in Qualitia. This data should be specified in double quotes ("").
Parameterized Data
Qualitia gives you provision to add multiple sets of data to be used when executing test cases. This allows executing multiple iterations of the single test case in one go with different details. This test data ensures effective time management and maximum test coverage with minimum updates to the test case.
You can use Qualitia's Test Data explorer to add or update test data. When you click the test data button from the Test Cases or Requirements screen, Qualitia opens a spreadsheet which allows adding or updating Test Data to use when executing the test case.
To add/ update Test Data:
- Select a test case name under the Scenarios tree structure.
- Click the Test Data button in the right pane.
The test data explorer opens with the iteration columns, Selection, Dataset tag, Task name, and the parameterized data (which is considered as a column name and not the actual data). - Parameterize the test data for a test case iteration as well as task iteration.
Test case iteration can contain one or more task iterations. - Enable or disable test case iterations by specifying True or False in the Selection column respectively.
- Click the save icon (
) once all the data is added for the test case execution.
