Multi-Level Tests: Passing data

[Richard]

Hi,

I have a 'logon' test that I would like to use with many different tests. I would like to pass two parameters: "userName" and "password" to the "Logon" test from many another tests.

I have followed the "Data bound Test A calls Test B" instructions here: http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/data-driven-testing/multi-level-tests.aspx but it does not seem to work.

Setup {

Users.xlsx

UserId | Password
User01 | somePassword

HomeTest.tstest (Bound to dataset Users.xlsx):

Execute test 'Logon'

• Logon.tstest (InheritParentDataSource is ticked):
• • Navigate to : 'https://[left this out for the purpose of security]' 
  • Enter text '' in 'UserNameText' - DataDriven: [$(UserId)]
    Enter text '*****' in 'PasswordPassword' - DataDriven: [$(Password)]
  • Click 'SubmitCredsSubmit'

} EndSetup

When I execute HomeTest.tstest nothing is entered in the 'username' or 'password' textboxes.
I was under the impression that "the data source definition for Test A will propagate down to Test B and be available for use by Test B", but this is not happening. Do I have to do anything special on the call "Execute test 'Logon'"?

Richard,

Make sure your "test B" is data enabled as well.  I have forgot this many times and nothing happens in the test to tell you you are missing that.  Its in the same location where you set the Inherit Data property as well.  Hope that helps!

Hi Leon, thanks that worked.

This should probably be added in the online instructions: http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/data-driven-testing/multi-level-tests.aspx
