Iterations Types Available with Data Sets and Test Scripts

Test scripts can be either iterated over data set rows individually, or as a sequence of test scripts or test scenarios for each row of the Data Set. Use the following procedure to view the avalable iteration types.

To view the available iteration types

1. Navigate to the Release screen, then the Test Sets View.

2. Drill down on a Test Set record.

   The three iteration options are as follows:

   • No iteration. If any iteration was selected previously, select the required records and click Remove Iteration. Only the first row from the data set is used for test scripts associated with the data set, and if the fields are referenced in the test scripts.

   • Individual Iteration. Select the required records and click Add Iteration. The field name Scenario Type reflects the individual iteration for the selected test scripts. The selected test script is run for all rows of the data set, followed by the next test script in the test set.

   • Scenario Iteration. Click Scenario Iteration, and then click OK when the confirmation prompt appears. The field name Scenario Type reflects the scenario iteration for all test scripts in the test set. A full test script sequence is executed for the first rows of the respective associated data sets, before picking up the next row of data sets. This applies to all test scripts in the test set.
