From the first glance you can consequentially use a several number of similar data-driven loops:
baxatobYes, but this doesn't not auto update from value (where to start up) over test executions, right?
Once again, I need tooling that automatically starts from next record in the sheet, where next is defined as {last used test data line + 1). I need this to be traced persistant so even when TC / computer shuts down, this setup remains working.
Consider this scenario:
I have one 1 big test data file, containing 100000 entries (lets say customer entry data). Each nightly test execution, I use 5 of these 100000 for test execution. Test execution is done nightly every night for as long as needed. I do not want to interrupt test execution by setting new "from " value every day prior to test execution.
And, I do not want to define x amount of similar data loops (I think that's what you suggested?) as well. Too cumbersome!
You can do it programmatically, like:
def ddt_loop:
dd_var = Project.Variables.your_DBTable_variable
row_to_start = 1 # Assuming the first row is a header with index == 0
row_to_end = 10
dd_var.Reset()
for i in range(row_to_start-1):
dd_var.Next()
for i in range(row_to_start, row_to_end+1):
do_something()
dd_var.Next()
You can assign row_to_start and row_to_end variables as you wish.
