Configure Dynamic DPL Data

Configure Dynamic DPL Data

Use a Dynamic DPL when a Scenario Editor test needs generated values at runtime, such as random numbers, generated strings, timestamps, or values within a defined range. Dynamic DPLs are useful when the test data does not need to come from a fixed file or database source.

When to use it

  • Generate unique values during each execution.
  • Avoid hard-coded test data in Scenario Editor steps.
  • Keep data rules in one reusable DPL instead of duplicating logic across scenarios.

Implementation notes

  1. Define the dynamic data rule in the DPL configuration.
  2. Map the DPL output to the Scenario Editor input that needs the generated value.
  3. Run a short validation execution and confirm the generated values appear in the output or reports.

Keep generated values within realistic ranges for the application under test. If a test requires a stable, repeatable data set, use a static source DPL instead.
