Using test data in manual test scripts

To use external data in a manual test, you need to associate test data with the manual test script. After you establish this association, you can use the variables in the test data to replace literal values in the manual test script.
Before completing these steps you need to create test data and associate a test case with a manual test script.
To use test data in a manual test script:
  1. From the Test Scripts section of the test case, open the test script by clicking the name. The test script opens in the Manual Test editor.
  2. From the Test Data list, click the test name, and click Save. This action associates the test data with the test script.
  3. Insert the test data variable into the manual test script:
    1. Click the step to which you want to add a test data variable, and then move the cursor to the location where the variable is to be inserted.
    2. From the toolbar, click the Insert Test Data Column icon (Insert Test Data Column).
    3. Select the variable, and click OK. The variable is inserted at that point in the step.
    4. Repeat to add additional variables.
During test execution, the literals are replaced with the test data.
