parametrization is a part of ddt in which only different set
of data is be given from excel sheet whereas in ddt both
input parametrization & output value parametrization can be
done.i.e parametrization set of data is given to the
functionalities from data table, environment variables or by
random values and also a set of data used as input for
functionalities is stored in excel sheet as output para.

Answer / narendra
i think data driven and parameterising is same.
i mean executing the test more than one time with multiple
test data is known as parameterisation.
this framework is called as data driven testing

Data Driven provides the facility to convert a recorded
test in to a data driven test so that you can replace data
with variables within a test script.
For Ex.You can test a login process by taking input for
user name and password field from a database.
Parameterization means replacing the static values (e.g the
employee name)withnthe variables containg the retrieved
value from the data table.

Answer / pradeep
data driven test does not take into account a variable that
takes in different input values. only an xls table if enuf
to feed the input val.
paramet. has a variable that takes in different values from
the user/a xls table.

Data-driven test is done to make the testcase run for
multiple sets of data---this processis termed as
parameterizing the test
in other words for diiferent parameters we r usins same
testcase.
correct me if iam wrong
