Hope you are well. 

 

I would use test parameters in this instance. 

 

The loop should work it may be due to the loop configuration itself(start and end of the loop) 


Based on your description you only want to use a parameter value, do you want to then call a parameter value when running a test?  

If so then maybe using test parameters, storing these in TC maybe a better alternative.

Thanks

Hi

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

It is a program called Software Center than I am testing. It works by entering a keyword in a search box then on pressing enter, the results show what version is installed.

 

I want the script to iterate using different keyword searched so though Data Loop would be better than test parameters. Can I do this with test parameters?
