    - Introduction: Perform a data-driven functional test using Java scripts
      In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a data-driven test using a variety of realistic data to test the application with the HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) data-driver wizard.
    - Lesson 1: Create a project and record a test script
      In this lesson, you will use the Classics CD sample application to create a new project and start recording a test to verify that the sample application correctly totals the amount of music CDs purchased.
    - Lesson 2: Data-drive a test
      In this lesson, you will use the data-driver to populate a dataset with data from the sample application. A dataset is a collection of related data records. A dataset supplies data values to the variables in a test script during test script playback.
    - Lesson 3: Add descriptive headings to the data
      In this lesson, you will add descriptive headings to the dataset you created in the previous lesson. Descriptive headings make it easier to add data to the dataset.
    - Lesson 4: Create a verification point with a dataset reference
      In this lesson, you create a verification point with a dataset reference to check that the price for the CD is correct in the ClassicsCD application.
    - Lesson 5: Add data to the dataset
      In this lesson, you will add data to the dataset to test the ClassicsCD sample application by placing more orders for the CD.
    - Lesson 6: Play back the test
      In this lesson, you will play back the test you just recorded to see how easy it is to use a variety of data from a dataset to test the application.

Lesson 6: Play back the test

In this lesson, you will play back the test you just recorded to see how easy it is to use a variety of data from a dataset to test the application.

About this task

Each time you play back a script with an associated dataset, the script accesses one record in the dataset. When you create a dataset reference for a verification point, the verification point uses the dataset reference to access a variable in that record. During playback, HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) substitutes the variable in the dataset for the dataset reference and compares the variable in the dataset to the actual results.

During playback you can view the script name, the script line number that is executing, status icons, and a description of the action in progress in the Playback Monitor.

Procedure

To play back the test script, click Script > Run.
In the Select log window, click Next.
Click the dataset Iteration Count arrow and then scroll to select Iterate Until Done to access all three records in the dataset.
Click Finish to use the default log name.

The Test UI window minimizes, and the Playback Monitor is displayed in the upper-right area of your screen. Messages appear in the Playback Monitor as Test UI plays back all of the recorded actions in the test script and enters data from the dataset.

When the test script finishes playing back, Test UI displays a log with the test results. A log is a file that contains the record of events that occur while playing back a script. A log includes the results of all verification points executed that can be used to test the application.
Click X to close the log.
