Data Source

[Natasha]

Hi,

I have a problem I need to use in one test, the data of the other test.

I read this link http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/data-driven-testing/multi-level-tests.aspx but my test aren’t sequential.

I want to know if exist any way transform one variable in global and use in all project.

I tried use data source, but the content of my excel file isn’t update.

The content of variable I need global is: text concatenate with actual date, are started the test.

Hello Natasha,
yes, this is doable. Check out the following article which demonstrates this approach:

Hello Cody. I hope you have had a nice day.
Sorry you're right. I didn’t explain myself very well. Your colleague Stoich suggested using a file with global variables. The example of this file is present in http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/code-samples/general/utility-in-standalone.aspx .
My question is I want save the file inside the folder of  the test project, but I like using the relative path for the test run on all computers and thus  allowing it to be independent of the location of the folder.

Hi Natasha,

You can place your class file anywhere in the Test Studio project folder. If your test project is at:

C:\My Test Projects\Test Project A

Place your file in the folder "Test Project A", or if you prefer to separate files, in a subfolder under it:

C:\My Test Projects\Test Project A\Utility Classes

Test Studio will automatically pick up and compile any/all source code files it finds when it builds the test project (the build happens automatically when you go to execute the test).

All the best,
