Datavariation Item Row

Definition​

A Datavariation Item Row is an attribute value or assert value that can be varied when executing test. They are always part of Datavariations. The value of a Datavariation Item Row is defined either in the value of an attribute or in an Assert.

info

It is not possible to import a CSV or Excel file into the datavariation, for multiple reasons:


- There are multiple operators possible on a single value, other than "Equals", like "Contains", "Greater than", "Range", etc. These are not part of a list of values in CSV or Excel.
- MTA performs an input validation according to the data type of the corresponding attribute, while entering the value. This cannot be done in a bulk import action.
- Values shown in Datavariations are only part of the full set of values used during a test run, since the rest of the values are fixed per-run, so importing would most likely result in a lot of duplication.

Properties​

Type​

There are two types:

  • Attribute value, where an attribute is assigned a value, or a microflow parameter is given a value;
  • Assert, where the value of an attribute is checked. Asserts are recognizable by the "=" sign on the Datavariation page.

Attribute name​

The name of the attribute.

Value​

The value of the attribute or assert.

Business rules​

None.

Note that not entering a value will be interpreted as Empty, except for String values, where it will be interpreted as '' (zero-length String).
