Compare data between current version and new versions

[sfrychel]

I have a script that currently validates the values of certain fields in our app.

I want to be able to use this script whenever we get a new version upgrade on the application, however when that happens, the values in the fields may need to be different since time has passed.

Is there a way to have the tool update these values without me having to go in and change each one?
Or do I have to run the script and wherever it fails because a new value, update the script with the new value?

Or can I create a script where it will run and populate the field with current value and then use a parameter for the 'new' version and have it then validate against what was entered in the earlier part of the script

Hi,

Without knowing your app and the data you are validating, it's impossible for us to suggest something reliable. In any case, with Ranorex, you can write almost anything you want For example, my tests are also heavily data oriented and it would be a real pain to update the reference data manually every time something in background changed. So I wrote some methods, which capture ref. data and store them in CSV or Ranorex snapshot. And if needed, I simply start my test with a global parameter, which instruct my test to save data, instead of validating them.
