In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a data-driven
functional test using the Rational® Functional Tester
data-driven test wizard.
Data-driven testing puts a layer of abstraction between
the data and the test script, eliminating literal values in the test
script. Because data is in a datapool and separated from the test
script, you can:
- Modify test data without affecting the test script
- Add new test cases by modifying the data, not the test script
- Share the test data with many test scripts
