Use Global Data parameters to enhance data management in automated tests by enabling data sharing across tests within a project or branching of data for different test scenarios.
For automated tests with empty dataset values, a hierarchical lookup will be triggered for the same parameter name from the lowest test tree grouping element upwards until a value is found.
Use Global Data parameters to improve flexibility in test data management, reduce redundancy, and ensure better reusability across tests.
Defining Global Data Parameters
You can define Global Data for the Project, Cycle, Business Process, and Folder grouping elements.
Select one of the supported grouping elements in the test tree. Then, select the Global data tab.
Click on the New button to define a new global data parameter.
Double-click on the parameter name or value fields to populate them.
You can clone an existing parameter and change the parameter name and value using the Clone button.
After you define the global data parameters, you can leave the automated test data set parameter values empty. Panaya will look for the same parameter name in the upper grouping element level until lit is located.
