TestData - Expert Module

The Module TestData - Expert combines the functionality of other TestData Modules and provides you with additional functionality on top.

In case security is enabled, the functionality described on this page may be restricted depending on the user groups you belong to. To set your access rights, contact your Administrator.

This Module is part of the Standard subset. You can find it under Standard modules->Test Data Management->Test Data Service.

It allows you to perform the following actions:

  • Create: create a record as you would with the Module TestData - Create & provide new record.

  • ReadOnly: Read data from a record. You can then verify certain attributes, for instance (see the example below).

  • Find: find a record as you would with the Module TestData - Find & provide new record.

  • Update: update a record or move a record as you would with the Modules TestData - Update record and TestData - Move record to TDS type.

  • DeleteRecord: delete a record as you would with the Module TestData - Delete record.

  • DeleteType: delete an existing TDS type along with all its associated records.

  • DeleteAll: delete all contents of a Tricentis Tosca Test Data Service database. This option deletes all categories and all records.

  • ConsumeRecord: consume a record. You need to find a record first. Use alias name to refer to it when executing the steps.

  • UnconsumeRecord: unconsume a record. You need to find a record first. Use alias name to refer to it when executing the steps.

  • ConsumeType: consume a type.

  • UnconsumeType: unconsume a type.

    By default, Tricentis Tosca marks all the records in the test run as consumed and when the test run process ends, unconsumes them.

    Optionally, you can mark the records manually during long test runs.

    If you set a record as consumed in Module TestData - Expert, it appears as locked for editing in Web UI.

In this example, you read the data from a record named mycar. Then you verify whether the Make attribute has the value Ford.
