DataEditor

The Data Editor affords a convenient, spreadsheet-like attachment for creating and editing data files/tables which is directly correlated with application objects. The Data Editor window opens automatically when you start a session. Data Editor provides a visual interface where the schema is created automatically as the user drags and drops application objects. Data objects of arbitrary complexity can be created using built-in and user-defined data types to match the requirements of test scripts. Input errors are reduced as users select values from pick-lists.

Data Editor is fully integrated with the automated testing environment. Each time a data table is saved, Data Editor generates the necessary data structures in the target scripting language. Data access methods are provided in the target scripting language. There are no drivers or type conversions required. Test data is directly available in the type expected by the scripting language.
