Configure JavaScript DPL Data
Configure JavaScript DPL Data
Use a JavaScript DPL when test data needs lightweight transformation before it is consumed by a Scenario Editor test. Keep the script focused on data preparation; avoid placing test flow, browser automation, credentials, or environment-specific paths in the DPL.
Recommended use
- Normalize or format values before sending them to the application under test.
- Combine fields from an approved data source into a value required by a step.
- Generate simple derived values that are safe to calculate at runtime.
Validation checklist
- Confirm the JavaScript returns the expected value for a small sample.
- Handle empty or malformed input values predictably.
- Verify the DPL mapping in a short Scenario Editor execution before scaling the test.
Do not embed secrets in the DPL script. Store credentials and environment-specific settings in approved configuration locations.
