Run settings and global data table parameters

By default, when you run a test with global data table parameters, OpenText Functional Testing runs the test for each row in the Data pane using the parameters you specified.

You can also use this pane to instruct OpenText Functional Testing to run iterations on a test only for certain lines in the Global tab in the Data pane. Under Data Table iterations, select one of the following options:

Run one iteration only	Runs the test only once, using only the first row in the global data table.
Run on all data rows	Runs the test with iterations using all rows in the global data table.
Run from data row __ to data row __	Runs the test with iterations using the values in the global data table for the specified row range. The first row in the data table contains the column names. Therefore, the data row number is always 1 lower than the row number in the data table display. For example, in the table below, Alex is listed in data row number 3, which is table row number 4.

For more details, see Data table parameters.
