  • Description: Data driven tests allow input and verification data to be accessed from a source other than the code. Data driven tests are normally more flexible because one test can handle multiple data scenarios. In addition, workload for code maintenance is reduced because the maintenance is done on the values in the data tables. Manipulating data tables is normally much simpler than modifying programming code.
  • A key use of data driven tests is in building tests that verify workflow processes. A workflow is a logical sequence of tasks that are performed to exercise a business or test process. Workflow tests simplify code maintenance by modularizing navigation, entry actions, and test data usage. This presentation describes how to implement workflow driven tests.
