Test dataset

[Lynn.Fredericks]

Hi, 

I am new to Telerik and would like to know if it is possible to somehow create a set of test data and have Telerik read it in when testing. 

The problem i'm having is that I have created a test with a step that inserts a number into a textbox field. This number is then added. The next time the test plays back, it fails with a message saying that number is already added, meaning i have to hardcode a number into the test test step.

So would it be possible to have a list of numbers stored and have Telerik randomly insert a number from the list to ensure that the number is not inserted twice.

Hi Lynn,

If you haven't done so already, please first go through our documentation section on "Data Driven Testing".

Then depending on your usecase and the data source you are using, you can review the following more advanced data-driven scenarios and chose the one that best suite your needs:

• Non-Iterative Data Driven Testing
• Random Row from Excel Data Source
• Use T-SQL to Pull a Random Row from a SQL Database

Let me know if you need further assistance on this.
 

All the best,
Plamen
