Create Variables
- Using Variable Manager, create a list variable, $NameOfFiles$ and two value type variables, $TempGDIObject$ and $PrevGDIObjects$ to store value of GDI Object

Convert your script into Data Driven scripts
- In this example we will save the notepad file with different filenames.
- Save list of filenames in List variable, $NameOfFiles$.
Note: Testing Anywhere also provides feature where you can easily read data values from a text file. Using this feature you can separate your data and test scripts.
- To read data from $NameOfFiles$, insert ‘Loop for List Variable’ command. Screenshot1

| We are currently using the software to do functional and performance testing of our customized version of Microsoft CRM. In addition, we are also using it for functional testing of a custom, in-house, financial application, and to do quality assurance on a CD that contains encrypted Adobe .pdf files, that are distributed for us by a third-party vendor. It allows us to do repeatable, reliable performance and functional testing, load test data with only “one-click”, and verify third-party vendors work. It saves us time and money, because after the initial “ramp-up” time learning it, we can quickly write tests that perform hours of work in only minutes. A great test tool, that we highly recommend! Thank you !!! |
