You can associate a datapool with a group in a simplified
script. With this capability, you can create multiple datapools for
a script and associate the datapools with the groups in a script.
Procedure
- Select a group in the simplified script editor that contains
the test lines to be data-driven. The General page
in the Properties view displays the datapool
section.
- On the General page of the Properties view,
specify the datapool details:
- To create a datapool and associate it with the group,
type a new datapool name. If a datapool already exists, select the
datapool from the list.
- Type the datapool iteration count to specify the number
of times the test lines in the group must be run by accessing the
records in the datapool.
- Click to
replace the existing literals in the group with the datapool reference. Ensure that you add the literals to the datapool while replacing
the literals with the datapool reference so that the values are added
to the datapool. For more information, see the topic about replacing
literals with datapool reference.
- Click to save the test script. The Test Datapool
view displays the newly associated datapool with the literal values
as records. You can add more data to the datapool in the Test Datapool
view.
Note: If you insert data-driven commands for other
controls in the group by using an application visual, the data for
the control is automatically added to the datapool that is associated
with the group.
During script playback, the
data for the controls is retrieved from the associated datapool.
