Parameterized Testing

Polarion QA allows you to build and maintain traceability from requirements through test verification to code, while leveraging your Test Plans, Test Cases and Test Runs for maximum reuse, collaboration, and reporting. The great new release of Polarion QA features the addition of Parameterized Testing, a much-requested feature by many of our customers. Test Parameters can be inserted into Test Steps enabling the same Test Case to be executed multiple times with variations in the test procedure. Test Parameters can be saved to a central library and reused by Test Case authors and test planners. Not to mention, you can now use an infinite number of variables in your testing.

Test Case Reusability

Manual testing procedures can be reused, allowing you to save time and effort by automating your standard Test Case. You don’t have to write anything over from scratch – instead, Test Cases can be used for repetitive work items. You’re able to have the same Test Case being executed several times with different values replacing the parameters during test execution.

Execute Multiple Test Case Iterations

A single Test Case can be planned to be executed multiple times in a Test Run. The planning sidebar lets you plan multiple test case iterations, each with its own set of Test Parameter values. This increases test productivity without rewriting your entire Test Case for every scenario you would like to run. When executing a Test Case, testers see the multiple Iterations with the previously defined parameter values:

Store Complete Test Parameters 

When adding a new Test Parameter to the test procedure, you can optionally add it to the Test Parameters Library for future reuse.
