Reuse test data across test cases for broader coverage and consistency.

\n
\n

Test Data Sets let you store reusable data for use across multiple test cases. They reduce manual entry, minimize errors, and help generate diverse test scenarios for better coverage. This article discusses managing Data Sets in Test Management by Testsigma.

Create Data Set from Test Case

\n
    \n
  1. From the left navigation bar, go to Test Cases.
    2. \n
  2. Create or open an existing test case.
    3. \n
  3. In the Test Case details page, go to the Dataset section and click Create Dataset.
    4. \n
  4. Enter a Name, an optional Description and click Create Dataset. This will open Create a Data Set dialog.

Add Data Set to Test Case

\n
    \n
  1. From the left navigation bar, go to Test Cases.
    2. \n
  2. Create or open an existing test case where you want to add the dataset.
    3. \n
  3. In the Test Case details page, go to the Data Set section and click Add Data Set. This will open the Add Data Set dialog.

Add Multiple Data Sets to Test Case

\n

Follow the “Add Data Set to Test Case” steps to add the first data set. Repeat to add more. Test Management by Testsigma generates unique test scenarios via Cartesian product (all row combinations across data sets).

\n

For Example, let’s say you have two data sets, Dataset A & Dataset B.
