Runtime Parameters

What is Runtime parameters in software testing and why it is necessary to add?

In software testing, Runtime parameters refer to the values or settings that can be passed to a test cases during its execution or runtime. These parameters are typically used to control the behaviour of the test cases or to customize its execution based on specific requirements.

They allow testers or users to influence the execution flow of the software and observe how it behaves under different conditions.

Runtime parameters are added in software testing to make the testing process more flexible and effective. It enhance testing process by allowing testers to control and customize the software's behaviour during testing.

Overall, Runtime parameters play a crucial role in enhancing the testing process and ensuring comprehensive software testing.

Important roles of Runtime parameters

Runtime parameters play important roles in software testing. They enable the configurations of test environment, variation of test data, performance testing, and achieving better test coverage.

Runtime parameters also help adapt the software to different environments and aid in debugging and troubleshooting. By adjusting these parameters, testers can control inputs, conditions, and settings during test execution, ensuring comprehensive testing and identification of potential issues.

Overall, Runtime parameters enhance the effectiveness and flexibility of software testing processes, enabling testers to validate software behaviour under various scenarios and conditions.

Steps

From the menu bar, navigate to Testing and select the Run Tests option.

Go to the Run Tests page.

The Run Tests page refers to a dedicated interface or platform where test cases are executed or deployed for the purpose of evaluating software functionality and performance.

Click on the New Runtime Parameter option.

The New Runtime Parameter option allows users to define dynamic input values for test cases, enabling flexible and data-driven test execution.

Enter the following details:
- Variable Name
- Tag
- Actual Value.

If it is necessary to add new values, click the Add new value button.

Click the Save changes button to save the required details, which will then be displayed under the Runtime parameters.

To edit a specific Runtime parameter, click the Edit button on the right side, make the necessary changes, and then click the Save changes button to save the updated details.

To delete a specific value or tag under a particular runtime parameter, click the Delete button on the right side.

If it is necessary to delete a specific Runtime parameter, click on the Delete icon located at the top of that Runtime parameter. The selected Runtime parameter will then be deleted.
