    Hi Tereesha,

     


    If it's a question only about different data, then you can use TestComplete's Data Generator feature. It can help you generate data in the pre-defined format (date, digits, countries, etc.). The "Data Generator Wizard" article contains the detailed steps.


     


    As for the distributed testing, it allows you to control your tests executed on different computers better. You have one main computer (a head of the test) and many slave machines which execute tests. Please refer to the "Distributed Testing" article and those related to learn more information.

    We use the computer name as a portion of the Excel file that we open for DDT and then we store it in a common location on the network. Each machine running TestComplete or TestExecute gets their own file and the scripts open the appropriate file based upon the current machine name.

     

    OrdersNAHMC48W1.xls is my file for example. Orders remains constant for all files and NAHMC48W1 is my machine's name.
