Importing external test data

You can import test data into QA Wizard Pro. This is helpful if you want to be able to change the test data in QA Wizard Pro without affecting the external data source.

Note: If you want to automatically update local test data when changes are made in the external data source or vice versa, link to the data source instead. See Linking to external test data.

1. Choose Data > Create Datasheet.

The Create Datasheet wizard opens.

2. Select Import data from external source.

3. Click Next.

4. Select a Datasheet type.

The fields are different depending on the datasheet type. See Configuring external datasheets.

5. Enter or select the Datasheet Options.

6. Click Next.

7. Click Browse to select the Datasheet Path and name the datasheet.

8. Optionally enter a datasheet Description.

9. Click Finish.

The datasheet is saved and opened in the Script pane.

Note: To use the data in a script, you need to associate the datasheet with the script and then replace the data in the script with datasheet values. See Associating datasheets with scripts and Using datasheet values in scripts.
