Hi everyone. Is there any way to replace an object attribute with a value from an excel sheet during runtime?

I have an iframe object and want it to use it in different environments and it works by changing an attribute value but now I have to make it change by taking the value from the excel sheet. It is possible?

I would appreciate some help 🙂

Hi there it’s possible to pass in a value from an excel sheet into your Test Object through parameterization and data-driven execution. Here are some docs to get you started.

> Parameterize Web Test Objects and their properties With parameterizing test objects, you can update test objects' locators dynamically by using either local or global variables. This feature comes in handy...

Once you have parameterized the objects the next step is to take a look at data-driven execution.

@ThanhTo Thank you so much!! you saved my day. I was able to do it by using the parameterizing test objects and global variables.
