Does XRAY support Parameter (DDT)

[Anouar]

Hello,

I want to ask if there is a way that we can create parameterized test case with xray.

That will generate multiple test execution depending on the parameters.

Hi Anouar,

As of the current version of Xray (v3.0), it is not yet supported. However, it's already part of our public roadmap https://confluence.xpand-addons.com/display/XRAY/Roadmap, thus we aim to deliver it during the current year (2018).

Currently, you can already use Cucumber Scenario Outlines, if you're adopting BDD using Cucumber, as a means to validate the same test case against different input values.

More info on the creation of Cucumber tests can be found here: https://confluence.xpand-addons.com/display/XRAY/Test#Test-Create 

Best regards,

Hi José, 

is it already possible to use test parameters in manuals steps (Test Type = Manual)?

If not, when will it be available?

Best,
Udo.

Hi Udo,
Unfortunately, it wasn't possible for us to release Parametrization yet as other features were developed and published in the meanwhile, but it is very high on our priority list and it will be one of the next ones to come up.

I'll keep you updated here as we move forward next year ;)

Best regards,

Team Xray

Hi, Is there any news on this topic? 

I am a fairly new (and enthousiastic xRay) user and I am very keen on having this feature available. Is there any news or otherwise a solution on how to run the same test against various data variables.

Thanks and kind regards,

Petri

Hi @Rogerio Paiva

Many thanks for your reply. I have read it in the release notes of the Cloud upgrade. I have used it right away and I am very happy with it.  We're lucky to have this for almost 4 weeks now  :-)

Best regards, 

Petri

Hello José,

I'm very interested in this topic as well.

Not having parameterized tests would require to multiply the number of test cases just because running the same scenario against other input data. This, in turn, would imply high maintenance costs on the test case library when a scenario or it's data needs to be adapted.

Would you mind keeping me informed on this as well ?

Kind regards,
Gregory
