Introduction
During the user journey, if the scenario to be validated has a number of similar set of input, then we can arrange them in a list and fire the tests. This saves us the time from creating new test scenarios.
Example Input Data
When the source is a simple list of values as below:
[
// userIds - ${0}
"octocat",
"foo",
"bar"
]Test Scenario
In Zerocode we arrange the test input like below:
"parameterized": {
"valueSource": [
"octocat",
"foo",
"bar"
]
}The full test scenario looks like below and runs thrice for three(3) values i.e. once for each value.
{
"scenarioName": "Fetch and assert GitHub userNames",
"steps": [
{
"name": "get_user_details",
"url": "/users/${0}",
"operation": "GET",
"request": {
},
"assertions": {
"status": 200,
"body": {
"login": "${0}"
}
}
}
],
"parameterized": {
"valueSource": [
"octocat",
"foo",
"bar"
]
}
}Conclusion
We learned here how we can do parameterized testing from the list of input values.
