Q.156  How do you data drive an external spreadsheet?

Import from External Spreadsheet File by selecting Import then From File . Which imports a tabbed text file or a single sheet from an existing Microsoft Excel file into the table. The sheet you import replaces all data in the currently selected sheet of the table, and the first row in the Excel sheet replaces the column headers in the corresponding Data Table sheet. It is therefore essential that the first row of your Microsoft Excel sheet exactly matches the parameter names in your test.

If it is a Database instead of Spreadsheet by selecting Import then From Database. It imports data from the specified database to the current sheet

Q.170Anybody with an experience of testing Mainframe applications. I usually check the ActiveX and VB add-ins while launching the test. Also I'm wondering how would the object repository look when we actually select the Terminal Emulator add-in and record the sript. Will it only record the Terminaal Emulator as the Object or will it record all it 's children, i mean the fields on the GREEN SCREEN. Let's discuss.

First we have install Terminal Emulator add-in. Then try to identify the objects.

The objects will be added to the object Repository, but these objects will be identified depends the X, Y co-ordinates of the objects.

Q.175 How toEnhancing your test

Inserting checkpoints into your test lets you search for a specific value of a page, object or text string, which helps you identify whether or not your application is functioning correctly. NOTE: Checkpoints can be added to a test as you record it or after the fact via the Active Screen. It is much easier and faster to add the checkpoints during the recording process. Broadening the scope of your test by replacing fixed values with parameters lets you check how your application performs the same operations with multiple sets of data. Adding logic and conditional statements to your test enables you to add sophisticated checks to your test.
