Running multiple Data-Driven Loops at the same time
I have a Data Driven Loop via keyword that fills in some web forms with data from a spreadsheet. The problem is that there is a section of web forms that need data from another excel spreadsheet.
If I could setup both data-driven loops at the same time, I think I would fine. But, only one can run at a time, which will not work. I want both loops to iterate 1 pass at a time.
I tried to write a script for the second one, but since you can't wrap scripts around keywords, it is kinda tough. Anyone have any suggestions?
I am thinking of reading how many records there are in the second spreadsheet and entering into an array. That way I can call them a row at a time.. keeping track of how many times the first data-loop iterates through. That way the data from both spreadsheets would be from the same rows. I am not crazy about that solution though.
I am trying to keep the scripting to a minimum since I am the only tester who has experience in creating/modifying tests.
