Once you have successfully debugged and run your test, you may want to see

how the same test performs with multiple sets of data. To do this, you convert

your test to a data-driven test and create a corresponding data table with the sets

of data you want to test.

Converting your test to a data-driven test involves the following steps:

Adding statements to your script that open and close the data table.

Adding statements and functions to your test so that it will read from the data

table and run in a loop while it applies each set of data.

Replacing fixed values in recorded statements and checkpoint statements with

parameters, known as parameterizing the test.

You can convert your test to a data-driven test using the DataDriver Wizard or

you can modify your script manually.
