What are different DDT and aqFile?
Hi all,
I am seeing that DDT and aqFile are supported by TestComplete. So what is different and when we use DDT, when we use aqFile?
Thanks,
Vinh

Hi tuanvinh1008
Thanks for your message.
DDT - TestComplete includes special program objects that let you easily access data stored in an Excel sheet, CSV file or in an ADO database table. These objects are called drivers. They are typically needed to perform data-driven tests, however, you can also use them to retrieve data from the mentioned storages.
TheDDTobject is used to create drivers for ADO database tablesAQFile - TheaqFileobject allows you to manage files as well as read from and write to text and binary filesBoth docs provide information and examples of how to use themHope that helps!Vinnievinniew thanks for your reply
so which one is better for performance?
On the performance side I am not certain.
I am interested in other members views on this mind you.
I would say context around what it is you would like to do may help decide which option is best to use.
ThanksVincent
