Interview Questions

Rational Robot FAQ

A datapool consists of two files.

. Datapool values are stored in a text file with a .csv extension.
. Datapool column names are stored in a specification(.spc) file. The Robot or TestManager software is always responsible for creating and maintaining this file. You should never edit this file directly.
.csv and .spc files are stored in the Datapool directory of your Robot project.
