What is data - driven automation?..

Answer / mahesh sv

Testing the same set of functionality using winrunner with
different inputs is Data Driven test. This can be done by
Data Table & Parameterization. Data driven automation means
driven by different set of data using the data by given in
excel or notepad is called the DDA. Testing the
functionality with more test cases becomes laborious as the
functionality grows. For multiple sets of data (test cases),
you can execute the test once in which you can figure out
for which data it has failed and for which data, the test
has passed. This feature is available in the WinRunner with
the data driven test where the data can be taken from an
excel sheet or notepad. if u want 2 check your application,
when same operations with Multiple Sets of data use data
driven table

Answer / prasanna

Let me give u an example :
Suppose u r automating a page..which ahs the detauils of a
customer.
U have different fields like text box,drop down check box
etc..for name..amil id website etc..
So different fields have diffrent constarints..
So u can run ur script for entering different combanination
of values and check hows the aaps is responding..
So this can be done in QTP : u can save all ur data values
in a excel set..and ur script can execute with those
data..in which u can run the script for any no of
interations..
Hope u understood.
