Is there an ability to add test data to the Test Execution whilst performing tests?

Question

We have a series of Test Cases on a Test Plan that we don't want to associate test data too at this level. This is because every time we run a Test Execution we won't be able to use the same test data.

Ideally we would like to add the data used when we execute the tests, but it doesn't seem possible. Are there some settings within the tool that can be changed to allow this?

Many thanks in advance for any help/insight.

haha no problem for the Apology, Glad that you want to follow things correctly.!

I understand your testing scenario.

I can suggest an alternative which we use to follow long back.! 1. create a text file with the data every time you run the test.

2. this txt file can be archived or attached to the specific Xray ticket for reference.

I hope it is helpful.!

Hi @sudarshan

If I understood correctly, you might be looking for a feature called "Test Parameterization" that we are currently working on; please check our Roadmap.

"Ability to define variables in the Test specification (e.g. the steps) that can be replaced by values inherited from different sources (a calling test, for example). In that scenario, the called test is used as a parameterized template (e.g. "login as the specified user")."

Is this feature what you are looking for?

Kind regards,
