Tip for Using Dynamic Data as Test Parameters such as cbQL Results or Any Plugins' Result
The values for test parameters can be configured on a test case or test set as a simple wiki table. For more information, see Test Parameterisation.
You can use any wiki markup as test parameters. If the output of the wiki markup contains an HTML table, the contents of that table are automatically used as test parameters.
For example, you can create a cbQL query, and use that as Test Parameters. Like this:
The following image shows the cbQL:
Edit your test case's test parameters and use the Query plugin to feed the result of this cbQL as Test Parameters like this:
[{Query id='<put cbQL id here>'}]
The result of the cbQL is used as test parameters:
Use an Excel Sheet or a Word Document Stored Anywhere as Test Parameters
You can also store an Excel sheet or Word document in the Document Manager or as an attachment to test case or test set. The content of the Excel sheet can be used as test parameters by entering the Excel plugin as Test Parameters:
[{Excel id='54518'}]
The first table of a Word document can be used as test parameters in the following manner :
[{Word src='http://www.mysite.com/files/calculations.docx'}]
Use a Wiki Page as Test Parameters
Create a wiki page which contains the test parameters as shown in the following image:
Then use this wiki page as test parameters as shown in the following image:
Use Any Custom Wiki Plugin as Source for Test Parameters
You can write your custom Wiki Plugins to produces the test parameters. For example, you could query the test parameters using an SQL query or a Rest call.
