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 set 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.
Qualitia has a built-in Test Data explorer which uses Microsoft Excel as an interface to add or update 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 and enter test data for the actions requiring parameters.
- Click the Test Data button in the right pane.
The spreadsheet 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.
