Test Parameters' values can be configured on an Test Case or Test Set as a simple Wiki table as described here Test Parameterisation.
But you can do more advanced tricks with the power of Wikis: in fact you can use any Wiki markup as Test Parameters, and if the "output" of the Wiki markup contains a HTML-Table that will be automatically used as Test Parameters!
Some examples are show below...
Use cbQL result as Test Parameters
You can create a cbQL query, and use that as Test Parameters. Like this:
Here is our cbQL:
Edit your TestCase'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>'}]
And the result of the cbQL will be 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 Management or as simple attachment to some Test Case or Test Set, and then use the content of the Excel sheet as Test Parameters by entering the Excel plugin as Test Parameters:
[{Excel id='54518'}]
Or use the first table of a Word document like this:
[{Word src='http://www.mysite.com/files/calculations.docx'}]
Use a Wiki page as Test Parameters
Or create a Wiki page which contains the Test Parameters like this: | And then use this Wiki page as Test Parameters |
| |
Use any custom Wiki Plugin as source for Test Parameters
Or your can write your custom Wiki Plugins which produces the Test Parameters. For example you could query the Test Parameters using an SQL query or using a Rest call....
