Parameterised test cases (re-using similar test cases)

Post by rob »

Hi,

It is often the case that I have several test cases that vary only in one particular parameter (eg. screen resolution), but the steps are otherwise the same.

Is there any way to re-use previous test cases to share common steps?

Currently the 'best' way I can see to do this (without duplication) is to create a 'test suite' containing the common summary and steps, then put in each child test case the parameter value in the steps section with the corresponding expected results.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Rob.
