Hi Long,

Usually when someone talks about "iteration" and automated testing, they are talking about a data driven test. Is that the case here? If not I need clarification by what "iteration" means in your question.

Before I can help further I also need to know In what way do you want to control the iteration?

• Limit which rows from the data source are to be used?
• Skip some data rows depending on some condition? What condition?

Please explain in detail what you mean by "iteration" and how you want to control it. Then I'll be able to assist getting that accomplished.

Sincerely yours,

Hi,
I have a question about iteration in data-driven tests.
Is there any possibility to get the number of current iteration? Does Test Studio use inner counter of iterations?
It needs me to control executing some of actions on the first iteration of data-driven test.

Hello Maria,

Yes you can, in a somewhat obtuse way. It can only be done in a code behind file. The code looks like this:

[CodedStep("Coded Step")]
public void coded_step()
{
    int curRow = this.ExecutionContext.DataSource.Rows.IndexOf(this.ExecutionContext.CurrentDataRow);
}

curRow will get the value of the current iteration, starting at 0. You could then perform if... then logic based on the value.
