Overview
Parameters are the factors to be tested in Test Case Designer scenarios. For example, "Browser Type", "Payment Method", "Age", etc.
...
Deciding what to include as parameters and values in your Test Model will be the most important part of the entire test design process.

In some situations, descriptive fields are not the best and more practical way to use parameters in your model. In the example, you can see the parameter "Age" with a descriptive value.
Instead of descriptions, maybe you could use the numbers for the ones you want tested. In the example, you can see the same parameter "Age" but now with numerical value.

Create a Parameter with a Ranged Value - Boundary Testing
Instead of using descriptive or numerical values, you may use range values.

Create a New Value Expansion
If your model includes a long list of values, you are in danger of generating way more tests than needed. The Value Expansions feature can dramatically reduce the number of tests generated in these situations. By maximizing variation and minimizing repetition, the Value Expansions feature helps testers cover as much as possible in as few test cases as possible.

Expansions are a great way to get additional variation in your tests without sacrificing the number of tests. But not all value expansions are guaranteed to be included in your tests. For example, consider 10 value expansions for 1 value in a model that generates a set of 20 tests. The value in question may only show up a few times of that 20, maybe 5 times. Therefore, only half of the value expansions will be covered. |
View Parameter
Standard View
Standard is the default view where user has visual access to all the available parameters and all the main actions to them.
Bulk view
Bulk view enables you to edit you parameters faster and displays parameters and values in a "code style" format. Learn more how to bulk edit parameters.

Bulk Edit Parameters

| Info |

Changing the name of a parameter or value in Bulk Edit mode would cause Xray Test Case Designer to recognize the edited parameter or value as a completely new entry – triggering a message warning you about the potential loss of constraints/requirements/value expansions. Typing in new parameter names through Bulk Edit won’t give you access to the auto-suggested list of already-created reusable parameters that you see when adding parameters through the standard Edit mode. You also can’t create value expansions from the Bulk Edit window. |
