Parameterlists
A parameterlist is like an excel-spreadsheet that you can use to build a list of records to be used in a testsuite- or a testcase-control-script. You can use these lists to let the script iterate through all records to parametrize the testcase or the testsuite.
For example:
- Iterate through a list of test-records and run a testcase using this testdata.
- Iterate through a list of user/password-paris to run a security-check against your analytical models.
- Iterate through a list of datawarehouse dimensions that are slightly different from each other (e.g. naming of from/to columns (SCD2) or table names etc.). Then parametrize the text-execution by these variables.
- etc.
Creating a parameterlist
- Open “Environment” -> “Parameterlists” in the main navigation.
- Click on “Create Parameter List” or use the “+” button to add a new one if there are already some lists.
- Enter a unique code and name and optionally describe the parameterlist.
- Change to the register “fields”.
- Add one or more fields to the parameterlist. The fields are the equivalent of columns in an excel-spreadsheet for example.
- Click on “Create Parameterlist”.
Adding records to a parameterlist
- Open “Environment” -> “Parameterlists” in the main navigation.
- Choose the parameterlist in the dropdown-menu.
- Click on “+ Add Item” to create a new record.

Deleting a record of a parameterlist
- Open “Environment” -> “Parameterlists” in the main navigation.
- Choose the parameterlist in the dropdown-menu.
- Mark the record you want to delete using the checkmark at the very beginning of the row.
