How to run 3 of 5 actions in a test for all rows of test data

[mharps]

Hi All,

I am new to UFt and am having a bit of a problem getting my head around the ability to run some but not all actions within a test, using tall the rows of test data imported at runtime into the Globals.

The basic structure of the test is as follows:

Test 1:
- Action 1: Retrieve test data (into Globals)
- Action 2: Start Browser and Log on to application
- Action 3: Enter test data onto Screen 1 and press submit
- Action 4: Enter test data onto Screen 2 and press Continue
- Action 5: On Screen 3 verify the results then navigate back to Screen 1
- Action 6: Log off and close the Browser

I want to run on all rows only for Actions 3, 4 and 5.

Looking at the Run on all rows details we can set Test 1 to Run on all rows so all actions will be run for each row of test data.

How can I set this up to just run on all rows of test data for the Actions 3, 4 and 5?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Mike

Hi All,

No responses so far but I have come up with a workaround.

I have added two additional fields to the test data spreadsheet:
- Login
- Logout

Actions 1 (Retrieve test data) and 2 (Start Browser and Login) check the "Login" value and if set to "Y", the code is performed.

Action 6 (Log off and close the Browser) checks the "Logout" value and is set to "Y", the code is performed.

This allows Actions 1, 2 and 6's code to be run when required and Actions 3, 4 and 5 code will always be run for each row of test data.

Not sure is anyone will find this workaround helpful but it works for me.

Cheers,
Mike
