Including tests with variable replacements
It is possible to include a test case into another test replacing some variables with values. The variables must be surrounded by $ signs to be recognized as such.
Example you have a test case TC-15 login to system
| Step | Expected |
|---|---|
Browse to site **** | Login form is shown |
| Enter user $user$ | OK button becomes active |
| Click Ok | Password field is shown |
| Enter password $password$ | Login button becomes active |
Now you can include this test case into another test: TC-300 login test, e.g. like this
| Step | Expected |
|---|---|
| include:TC-15?user=readonly&password=ro | Logged in as read only user |
| do something | |
| include:TC-15?user=readwrite&password=rw | Logged in as read write user |
When creating the XTC from TC-300 you will get XTC-1333 login test
| Step | Expected | Actual | Passed/Failed |
