    This is a common usage of tests within a project. See the example here. I would set your tests up like the "webstore" example in the first screenshot.

    That's not a problem. I see that in your test list.

    Do you mean that you don't want the browser to be hard coded in the test?

    If you want to run the same dataset on each browser, then look at setting up cross-browser testing. This will be the easiest way.

    If you want to run on different browsers depending on what the data is, then I would include the browser name in your data. You can then use that variable for opening and closing the browser.

I don't believe you can have two items with the same name in a project or a project suite. I think what you would need to do is use your list in the Execution Plan as the order to run the tests.

 

I'm looking at your list and those items look to me like they would be separate tests, but not separate projects. What advantage did you get by organizing them this way?

    This is a government application that used for creating missions. I need to be able to create multiple missions. code is the same except for the external data file. I need to be able to use different user roles so I need to close the browser in between logins. I don't want the browser to be included in the test project. I am going for extreme reusable and modulization.
