Mastering Data-Driven Testing

The ability to do data-driven testing is one of the key benefits of test automation. To ensure that an application functions properly, tests are often repeated for a range of data values that include boundary, edge, and corner cases — a process that can be tedious and time-consuming. Instead of 10 testers having to manually execute test cases for 10 different data values, an automated data-driven test can execute the same 100 test cases in a single run.

In this webinar, you will learn how to set up variables for UI elements and link them to data sources. You will also learn how data binding connects variables to data items, how to control execution with conditions and how to pass values through module boundaries and across test cases. The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session. The detailed list of topics is below.
