What do you understand about data driven testing? |
|
Answer» Data-Driven Testing is a software testing technique that stores test data in a table or spreadsheet format. Testers can use data-driven testing to ENTER a single test script that can run tests for all test data from a table and EXPECT the test results to be RETURNED in the same table. It's also known as parameterized testing or table-driven testing. Because testers usually have several data sets for a single test, Data-Driven Testing is critical. Creating DIFFERENT tests for each data set can be time-consuming. Data-driven testing allows data to be kept separate from test scripts, and the same test scripts can be run for multiple combinations of input test data, resulting in more efficient test results. The above image depicts the process of data-driven testing. Test data is taken from a data file and tested on the application and then the PRODUCED output is compared with the actual output. |
