Importing to datasets

You can import test data into a dataset using a comma-separated value (CSV) file that enables you to import large volumes of test data to a dataset rather than manually entering them.

Before you begin

You must have created a test that contains a dataset with at least one column.

Procedure

  1. Under the Functional Test Projects view, double-click the dataset. The dataset is displayed in a browser.
  2. Click Import.
  3. Choose the .csv file to import and click Open.
  4. You can choose the following options in the Import dialog:
    • Click Append to add rows and columns from the selected CSV file to the end of the dataset.
    • Click Overwrite to add the rows and columns from the selected CSV file from the beginning of the dataset.
  5. Click OK. Based on your selection, the rows and columns values are added either to the end of the dataset or from the beginning of the dataset.
  6. Click Save and close the browser. Click Discard Changes if you do not want to save the changes.

Results

The data from the CSV file is imported into the dataset.
