How to Associate Static Data

This task describes how to work with static test configurations in ALM.

Defining static data enables you to specify sets of parameter values for the test directly from within ALM.

You can create configurations that access static data from the Test Plan module, and modify the data from the Test Plan and Test Lab modules.

1. Select a static configuration

   In the Test Plan module > Test Configurations tab, click the Data tab. Then, if the test type supports both static and dynamic data, select Static.

   For user interface details on the Data tab for static configurations, see Data Tab: Static View.

2. Create iterations (Business Process Testing)

   Business Process Testing: Existing iterations and the test parameter default values are displayed in a grid. Add /remove iterations as necessary.

   For user interface details on iterations, see the Micro Focus Business Process Testing User Guide: Iteration Pages.

3. Modify parameter values

   Existing iterations and the test parameter default values are displayed in a grid. Modify parameter values as necessary.

   To modify the value of a static parameter, select a parameter, click the Actual Value field, and enter the desired value of the parameter.

   Tip: Business Process Testing: Business Process Testing users can click the Test Combination Generator button and generate test configurations with unique combinations of data values. For task details, see How to Generate Combinations for Test Configurations. For user interface details, see the Test Combinations Generator.
