[Wtr-general] Data Driven Testing

[jackei]

I've a easy way to do this.

some codes as following:

#~ First,  use the parameters replace the data in your script, include the
input data and expect output data;

#~ 2nd, open and read a data file which is .csv format;
theDataFile=File.new(dataFilePath,"r")

#~ 3th, read the data from data file used by a loop e.g. while
while not theDataFile.eof? do
    theDataFile.gets
    #~ the 'dataset' is a array
    dataSet=theDataFile.gets.split("\t")
end

#~ 4th, executing your script and auto input all data then auto verify the
expect output data.
