Ever wish you could run specific DataTable scenarios in a plan execution? Now you can! If a test is associated with a DataTable, you can now update plan settings to only run specific scenarios from that table.
Previously, plan executions could run specific DataTables, but they couldn’t be configured to run specific scenarios within a DataTable. With the new scenario override setting, teams can create more flexible plans that run only specific scenarios as needed.
Try it out
Open the Edit plan page and click on Show tests to expand the list of tests. Click on the Test variables pencil for the test you want to edit.
In the Test variables panel, click on + Add parameter and set the Type field to “DataTable”. All of the test’s associated DataTables will appear in a dropdown.
You may configure the plan to run the test with all scenarios from an associated DataTable or restrict it to a specific subset of scenarios.
If the test is associated with multiple DataTables, you can add additional DataTable variables as needed to run scenarios from other associated DataTables.
When the plan runs, the test executes only the DataTables and scenarios specified by the DataTable variable(s).
