#1

I am working on a test case to hover over menu and click sub menu dynamically using data driven approach by passing object name using variable and validating control is directed to target using Verify Match keyword by passing the URL of the destination page.

Failed approach:

  1. created internal data with three columns that houses main menu, sub menu object name and the destination url
  2. created variables at test case level and passed it as object name using a test suite

Can someone let me know if there is a way to pass object name as variable and execute test case using a test suite

I am not sure why it is a failed approach? and is there any error message you got with the approach?

it also help if you go the script tab and copy/paste the script here for more information

Brian, I identified the issue and fixed it. The test case was failing as I wasn’t providing full name of the object/menu the includes the location of the object. For instance, hovering menu Community in the msdn site. The object is under folder Main menu in the Object repository. The input file should contain value “Main menu/community”. Instead the file contained value Community and the tool wasn’t able to find the object/menu Community.
