Linking a testplan to a data-driven testcase

Two ways to link a
plan to a testcase

To link a group of test descriptions in the plan with a data-driven testcase, add
the testcase statement to the group description level. There are two ways to
do this:

Use the Testplan Detail dialog to automate the process.

Enter the testcase statement manually.

Note For details on each of these methods, see "Linking the testplan
to scripts and testcases" on page 61.

For example, consider the data-driven testcase FindTest, which takes a record
of type

SEARCHINFO

as a parameter:

type SEARCHINFO is record

STRING

sText

// Text to type in document window

STRING

sPos

// Starting position of search

STRING

sPattern

// String to look for

BOOLEAN bCase

// Case-sensitive or not

STRING

sDirection // Direction of search

STRING

sExpected

// The expected match

testcase FindTest (SEARCHINFO Data)

TextEditor.File.New.Pick ()

DocumentWindow.Document.TypeKeys (Data.sText + Data.sPos)

TextEditor.Search.Find.Pick ()

Find.FindWhat.SetText (Data.sPattern)

Find.CaseSensitive.SetState (Data.bCase)

Find.Direction.Select (Data.sDirection)

Find.FindNext.Click ()

Find.Cancel.Click ()

DocumentWindow.Document.VerifySelText ({Data.sExpected})

TextEditor.File.Close.Pick ()

MessageBox.No.Click ()
