Manage TestData in script mode

#1

Hi!
I am facing to one interesting problem. I have some complex testing scenaria in wich data generated in one test case shoul be used in another, and so on.
I had already read some topics on forum and as I have a various dynamic data, there are no useful way to transfer it via global variables - just because I had to create an enormous list of it.

So I think about change my internal data tables and add some new columns into them, or create a new test data using script mode.
But I can’t find any useful information about how could one do it.

Did anyone face the same or similar problem and how had you manage this?

Have a look at the following post. The post proposes a demo project that just works.

Problem to solve
I wanted to find out a solution to the following points:

  1. I want my Katalon Studio project to generate a single Excel file where my Test Cases store anonymous data.
  2. I want to name the Excel file in such format. If I start a Test Suite named TS_a then it creates a file named TS_afollowed by the timestamp when it was started. For example, it would be TS_a.20180901_091020.xls. If I select a Test Case named TC1 then it will create a file named TC1.xls without timestamp.
  3. I want 2 or more Test Cases in a Test Suite share a file and update it mutually. Test Case TC2 should not carelessly erase data written in the file by preceding Test Case TC1.
  4. I want to create sheet per each test case. If I have a Test Suite which contains 2 Test Cases TC1 and TC2, then running the Test Suite should result a Excel file containing 2 sheets: TC1 sheet and TC2 sheet.

Valeriy,

I think that the demo project would be a starting point for you.

Valeriy,

Thanks for an idea.
Actually at weekend I already code some functions and create dynamically .xlsx files in directory path exact as testcaseId, from which context this method called.

The question was simply because I didn’t want to write it by myself…may be there are some build in solutions and it could save some time.

I agree with you. I think Katalon Studio should support this built-in.
