If your test script has got only one Action there is not much of a difference in choosing the datasheets , if ur test script contains different action for different functionalities then the global & local data sheet comes into picture

Hi Mann,

one row of Global sheet exceute exaclty once for every (row) of the local sheet

meand

Global sheet No of row =2

Local sheet No of row =3

Total no. of iteration would be 2*3=6

Ex:

with Login (global action) activity one can book many tickets(local sheet action)

Regards

Asha

You store data in the Global tab when you want it to be available to allactions in your test and you want the data to control the number of testiterations. You store data in the action?s tab when you want to use the data in DataTable parameters for that action only and you want the data to control thenumber of action iterations.

Global action sheet belongs to current test script. Local action sheet comes into picture when using multiple action and if you want to run a copy of an existing action differently than other actions in the same script and those other actions are reusable actions.
