Each variable will become a column in the Compiler Template Data screen (this is the next step of the process - Step 3).

The variables created in the Test Script Template must be unique. This means that if you create a variable i.e. [age] wherever you use this in the Test Script Template it will have the same value.

Image Added

  • The variables created in the Test Script Template must be unique.This means that if you create a variable i.e. [age] wherever you use this in the Test Script Template it will have the same value.

  • If you want to have a generated value for your Expected Result step, you need to add a unique variable that is only in the Expected Result field and not in Test Script Name, or Description field.

  • In the example above [Premium] is only in the Expected Result field for Step 5.

  • The other variables used are in the Test Script Name, Description and Expected Result fields.

  • You can have more than one Expected Result data column.

  • The Expected Result generated values can only be used in Option 1: Row by Row for Test Script generation ( this is in the Data screen, which is the next step in the process - Step 3). 

Once you have created your Test Script template, click Next.
