Can i reuse the same(single)script with different data?

[Devangi]

Let say i have a login script. If i go with appraoch of data driven then i have to create 5 login script if i have 5 Users.

Is there any way where we can have only login script in entire project and just pass different user's login credentials when required?

Hi, you could add coded step Login (something like my example) and uncheck it but call this method from your main script with different parameters

[CodedStep(@"Login", RequiresSilverlight = true)]
        public void Login(string login, string password)
        {
            Pages.xxx.Login1UserNameText.Text = login;
            Pages.xxx.Login1PasswordPassword.Text = password;
            Pages.xxx.Login1LoginLink.Click();
        }

Hi,

In addition you can also go with a data-driven approach following the steps bellow:

1. Record the steps that are related to the login form.
2. Create a local data that has two columns one for the users and one for the passwords. Fill the data in them.
3. Bind step that set user name to that user field
4. Bind step that set password to that password field

Now this test will be executed for each user and pass from the data table.

You can find this described in details here. For further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.

Artem,

Can you share an example of a test that uses that coded step?  I would like to know how you pass information to that method.  

Thanks,
Shashi

[CodedStep(@"MainTest", RequiresSilverlight = true)]
        public void MainTest()
        {
              Manager.ActiveBrowser.NaviagteTo(URL);
              Login("User", "Password")
        }

[CodedStep(@"Login", RequiresSilverlight = true)]
        public void Login(string login, string password)
        {
            Pages.xxx.Login1UserNameText.Text = login;
            Pages.xxx.Login1PasswordPassword.Text = password;
            Pages.xxx.Login1LoginLink.Click();
        }

Step Login should be unchecked in steps list.
