Testers frequently have multiple data sets for 1 test but creating individual tests for each data set takes time and effort. With data-driven testing, you can keep data separate from tests and execute different combinations of test data to generate results efficiently.
You can quickly define a large number of tests with different output values and reuse your data sets. Data-driven testing increases your coverage, eliminates repetitive tests, and most importantly saves significant time on test execution.
Benefits of data-driven testing and test parameterization
Tests are easier to understand, maintain and manage.
Execute the same test several times with different inputs which reduces test cases you have to create.
Reduces manual effort on execution.
Time efficient, saving time on creating repetitive test cases.
Better organization of tests and results.
Reduces duplicate and redundant testing.
Xray Cloud now added parameterized tests feature to the automated tests, that executes the same test with different input values, multiple times, without ever having to clone or replicate it.
With this feature, you can minimise repetitive test cases, save time on execution and increase your test coverage.
