Does parameterization works with the dropdown value fields

Question

Hi,My application has several steps with few fields to choose the values from dropdown items as shown in the attcahmentDoes parameterization works for such type of fields to choose new field everytime i run the script or do i have to have a seperate script for each choice of dropdown value. B'se&nbsp;I noticed that inTC 8.5 when the script is playing back, it is actually opening the drop down and choosing the value from drop down.So&nbsp;PLease let me know so i can proceed with this&nbsp;

Hi Sri,I guess data-driven testing is what you need. Please see the Data-Driven Testing help topic for more information.

Hi Sri,Get the items count from the dropdown and then use For loop to select each item after your actions completed.Eg: Set Obj = DropdownobjFor Each Child In Obj&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Child.Select&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Action 1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Action&nbsp;2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Action&nbsp;2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Next

I didn't quiet understand it.For ex:&nbsp;I have Father's Education Field which has 6 choices like 1. please select, 2. high school, 3. college or beyond&nbsp; etcThere are few fields like this in each step and there are 7 steps in the application for the script.I planned to&nbsp;develop one&nbsp;step in the script for each step of the applicationFor each set of these drop down values, the script has to execute completely and then when it runs second time it has to select 2nd set of values&nbsp;from the drop down boxes.So please explain me how i can acheive this. Or without scripting will&nbsp;the datadriven testing works with the dropdown fields&nbsp;also.&nbsp;

Hi Sri,I suppose you can arrange a loop and execute the same test with varying parameters in each loop iteration. This will require transfering the application to the same initial state (that is, returning to the dropdown selection step) in the beginning of each loop, before selecting the values. If you need to use dropdown values, not an external file, as a data source, you can 1) get to the step when the dropdown appears 2) read all values from the dropdown to an array 3) enumerate the array's elements and handle each selection as a separate iteration - this will be the loop mentioned above.
