Creating the requirement.csv File

Begin by creating the requirement.csv file that lists the details of the use cases that you want to test. Each line of this CSV file identifies the type of operation to perform, artifact name, number of concurrent users, input file specifying the details of the operation, and additional, if any, information related to the operation. For example, to open 2 forms, save 2 forms, and run 2 business rules, you specify 6 lines in input CSV file. The first line of requirement.csv, the header , must contain this information: 

#Type of Operation,Artifact Name,Number of Users,Input File,Additional Info

Each of the subsequent lines of the file contains a single operation and its parameters. Some operations may not require all these parameter values. The expected file entries are explained in the following table.

Note:

All values are required unless otherwise indicated in the table.
