With QuickTest, there are two ways in which you can convert the fixed-value
arguments in a Web Vuser script into parameters:
1
Data-table parameterization
Data-table parameterization is a simplified type of parameterization. With data-
table parameterization, you assign values from an Excel-based data file to the
parameters in the Vuser script. Data-table parameterization is discussed in depth
in this chapter.
2
Enhanced parameterization
Enhanced parameterization is the same type of parameterization that is available
through VuGen. When you use enhanced parameterization, you can assign values
from a file, or use data generated internally by QuickTest:
A data file can be an existing file, or you can use QuickTest to create a new
one.
Internal data is data that is generated automatically during scenario
execution. The available internal data types are: group name, host name,
Vuser ID, iteration number, date/time, random number, or unique number.
For an in-depth description of enhanced parameterization, see Chapter 5,
