Data Driven testing is testing the functionality with
dynamic input from QTP. When we record, the value we use
become static. In Data driven test we convert that static
value to dynamic so that we can give as many inputs we want
to see the functionality is working ofr different inputs.

Answer / satyanarayana
Data driven testing is very much useful while we are
parameterising our test.Data driven testing means
collecting the data from various sources like flat files,xl
files and from databases and testing the functionalities of
the application with this data by parameterisation

Answer / krishnamurthy
Data driven testing is a "column fixture" testing. Here we
are using different types of data to test the
component.Here values are dynamically given at run time.
Maximum we are using Excel file for giving dynamic values.

data driven testing is the parametrization of our test in
which we pick the no and iteration one by one and then
execute them....
plz make me right if i m wrong.....

Answer / guruprasad
Simple, the execution path is driven based on the data
residing outside the script.
You could script in such a way that the functionality that
need to be tested cane be decided outside the script, and
pass the appropriate data to drive the execution.
For example:
You can have a switch case in your script to test
1.Links
2.Login field
3.Pwd field
4.Login button
Now your data sheet will contain 2 fields with multiple
rows. One field for the option (1/2/3/4) and the other for
the data to be used.
Now in the beginning of the script you would load the excel
sheet retrieve the data iteratively pass it to the switch
case. Now, you have the ease of deciding what needs to be
tested with what data outside of the actual script.
Hope that helps...

Answer / narendar
data driven framework is used to implement re-testing,re-
testing is the process of executing an application again
and again with multiple sets of testdata.For this,we need
to parameterize data using data-driver wizard(Tools-->Data
driver) or manually take data into datatable/we can import
testdata into datatable from external applications like
excel,flatfile or xml files ...
Correct me if iam wrong

Data driven test is a process of executing same

Answer / vinay
Data-Driven Testing is re-testing the functionality with
different test data (input/output) values are for
read/write from the data files. The data files are prepared
by the user and those column values parameterized in the
script file.

Answer / pritisandhya
Data Driven testing is nothing but test the same
functionality of an application with various inputs. that
inputs shoud be in either in .xls file,flat files etc.First
we retrive the data into the designed data table of
QTP.then take the data from design table.

Tell me about qtp?
what is meant by source control?
Hello Everyone, I have a problem. QTP is capturing no action on a particular page in the application that I am trying to automate. But on the same side its working fine on other pages of the same application. Can someone please help me understand the reason behind this inconsistency.
Using QTP checkpoint, where do you store your expected Properties of the object which later compares with the actual properties of the object???
Why we are going for descriptive programming ? I answered as 'If objects are not present in OR we will go for descriptive Programming'? Is this correct ?
Suppose there are 100 links in a web page and the number of links will be changing dynamically from time to time. I need code such that every time i had to click on the last link of the web page.
Hi all, On recording a particular Web application with QTP,Have came across a problem for which I havent found a solution so far.. The script of importance is as follows: Browser("Personalized Start Page").Page("XYZ").Frame ("mainFrame_4").Link("address.csv").Click Browser("Personalized Start Page").Page("XYZ").Sync Dialog("0% of dms.php from XYZ-").Dialog("File Download").WinButton("Save").Click My problem is that on recording the application with QTP and clicking the "address.csv" link another browser window comes up temporarily followed by the Windows "FileSave" dialog.The browser window which came up closes down when the Windows "FileSave" dialog is visible and I save the file to a windows location. On the "Record and Run" settings under Qtp,have activated settings for web and windows applications. But when I run this recorded script,and after the "address.csv" click,The browser window comes up and goes down,No Windows "FileSave" dialog comes up and the QTP shows the error Dialog("0% of dms.php from XYZ-") object is not found,though this object is there in the repository. Have tried putting the Dialog("0% of dms.php from XYZ- ").Exist property.But the "Exist" property is not recognised by the dialog at all. Any help in this direction is appreciated.. Thanks in advance J
