Scenario Editor FAQ

1. How to data drive a test script in Test Designer IDE and then a scenario

Steps below:

1. Create a Test Designer script in IDE using record and reply

2. Save the Test Designer script (Local or in a GIT Repository that is configured)

3. Have the data file (CSV file) ready with all the inputs that are required to be data-driven using notepad ++ or any other editor (JS DPL could also be created using AIQ's JSDPL)

4. Save the CSV file in your local machine or on a GIT Repo so Test Designer should be able to access the created CSV file

5. Click the Data tab in the IDE

6. Click Browse and browse the created CSV file

7. The data file should be loaded with the columns and values

8. Choose the Type (Hash if it is a HashDPL or JSDPL if it is a JSDPL)

9. Drag and Drop the values from the CSV table from the Data tab to the value column (of the row) that needs to be data-driven

10. Just like data driving value columns, the Accessor column can also be data-driven in a similar way by dragging and dropping from the data tab cell to the accessor column

11. Save the script

12. Playback the script in IDE to make sure it is picking the values from the CSV file
