QTP - Data Source

[abhishek813]

Hi Guys,

How is everyone doing?

I am a little curious about the data sources that we can use to drive our scripts. We all know that excel is one of the data sources that is used to drive a QTP script, i was wondering.......

1. What are the different data sources other than excel that can be used to drive a QTP script.
2. Of the Data Sources available to be used in QTP why and when would you use them?

Thanks in advance ppl.
