What is Parameterization

When you test your application, you may want to check how it performs thesame operations with multiple sets of data. You can create a data-driven testwith a loop that runs n-times: each time the loop runs, it is driven by a

different set of data. A parameter is a variable which replaces a recorded value in the script. At run time, Quick Test substitutes a value from a data source (Data Table)

for the parameter. This is called parameterization.

Global Sheets & Action Sheets Contd.

Global Sheet: Choosing Global sheet enables you to create a new column orselect an existing column in the Global sheet in the Data Table.You can usethe columns in the Global data sheet for Data Table output values or DataTable parameters in any action.

Local Sheet: Each action also has its own sheet in the Data Table so that youcan insert data that applies only to that action.When you run your test,QuickTest inserts or outputs a value from or to the current row of the currentaction (local) data sheet during each action iteration.
