Test Data Parameterization
Test Data Parameterization enables testers to run the same test case multiple times with different data inputs. It replaces hard-coded values with parameters, allowing QA to store and share reusable test data across projects. This helps maintain consistency and manageability, facilitating the quick creation of automated data-driven tests.
Example 8. Test Data Parameterization Example
Validate the following values against Employee IDs in an organization.
Employee ID | Designation | User Type |
|---|---|---|
1011 | QA Engineer | Regular |
1012 | Developer | Admin |
1013 | DevOps | Super Admin |
1014 | QA Engineer | Read Only |
1015 | Developer | Regular |
Employee ID, Designation, and User Type are parameters with defined values. These values form a data grid. First, create the parameters and assign their values, then build the data grid.
