Hello Brett, - - In order to achieve this, you need to bind the parent tests to a local or external data source. Then check InheritParentDataSource on the login subtest. This will cause the subtest to consume/use all the data offered by the parent test, effectively passing that data in as a parameter for the subtest to use. See the first scenario described in this article for more information. - - Regards, - Plamen - the Telerik team - - - Are you enjoying Test Studio?

Hi,

Our team is currently evaluating Test Studio and we were wondering how to go about creating a login test that can accept a user/password and be reused in other scripts?

I've read a few forum posts on this subject and believe the approach is to use the Test as Step / Data Driven approach, however I'm not 100% sure which of our tests I need to modify in Test Studio to achieve this :-) I've attached a picture of the current project structure.

Currently I have a _LOGIN test (with a hardcoded user/password) that is called via Test As Step by both the CreateStringFilter and ViewDashboard tests. I'd like to modify it so CreateStringFilter can use a username & password of admin/admin and ViewDashboard QA/12345.

Is anyone able to outline the steps based on our test structure to set this up?

Cheers,
Brett

Hello Brett,

In order to achieve this, you need to bind the parent tests to a local or external data source. Then check "InheritParentDataSource" on the login subtest. This will cause the subtest to consume/use all the data offered by the parent test, effectively passing that data in as a parameter for the subtest to use.
