You can edit test data for an offline suite either using Qualitia client or test data excel file present in Offline Suite Folder.

Qualitia recommends using the Qualitia Client because it displays an error message when any change in test data is incorrect.

Editing the Test Data using Qualitia Client

To edit the test data using Qualitia Client:

  1. Open the test case from Qualitia Client. For instructions on how to open a test case from Qualitia Client, refer to Editing a Test Case.

  2. Open the Test Data explorer to edit test data. For instructions on how to edit test data, Adding Test Data for a Test Case .

  3. Re-create the offline suite. For instructions on how to create an offline suite, refer to https://qualitia.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/QAS84/pages/34305934465#OfflinePackage-CreatinganOfflineSuite .

Editing Test Data in Test Data File of Offline Suite

You can edit in the offline suite if you do not have access to Qualitia Client.

After the offline suite is created, for every test case that contains test data, the associated test data as excel files are created in the same folder with the same names as given to their associated test cases. You can modify the test data such as replace the existing test data and enable or disable TC iterations.

Points to Know

  • Do not add or remove any columns or change the column order.

  • Enter as $NULL$ in the associated cell where you do not want to add a value for a parameter in a TC or task iteration.

  • If you do not want a task or TC iteration, delete the respective row.

To edit the test data for an offline suite:

  1. Open offline suite folder.

  2. Take a backup of the original test data excel file that you want to edit.

  3. Open the Test Data excel file.

  4. ​In the excel sheet, the following values are displayed in the second row.

    1. TC Iteration: Shows the number for every TC Iteration. There must be at least one TC Iteration for executing the test case.

    2. Selection: Shows as True or False for the enabled or disabled iterations. You can modify the values. This is applicable for TC iterations only.

    3. DataSetTag: Optionally, enter a label for identifying the dataset in the test case execution report. You can modify the values.

  5. From the third row, edit the values in their formats. The first row displays the different tasks highlighted in the grey color. Each task covers its parameters in the second row.

  6. If you want to add a TC iteration, insert a row specifying values for TC Iteration number, Selection and DataSetTag (Optional), then enter the values for the associated parameters.

  7. If you want to add a task iteration, insert a row without specifying values for TC Iteration number, Selection, and DataSetTag (Optional), then enter the values for the associated parameters.

  8. Ensure to save the excel file.
