Datasets

Datasets are a powerful feature that enables data-driven testing by executing test cases with multiple sets of test data. They provide flexibility for creating environment-specific datasets. PostQode supports importing test data from CSV files and JSON files, making test automation more efficient and maintainable.

Adding a Dataset

• Step 1: Click on the Dataset tab from the Edit Test Case window.
• Step 2: Click on Select Dataset File button.
• Step 3: Select a CSV/JSON formatted dataset file from the file explorer window.
• Step 4: Click on Select File button.

tip

To link a new dataset, please remove the existing dataset first.

Settings

The Settings section allows you to configure test case-specific settings and preferences, including:

• Number of retries : Number of times to retry failed tests.
• Test Timeout : Test Timeout is the maximum time allowed for a single test (request + test script) to complete. If it exceeds this limit, that test case fails due to timeout.
• Request Timeout : Request Timeout in PostQode is the maximum time PostQode waits for a server to respond before stopping the request and showing an error.
• Script Timeout : Script Timeout in PostQode defines the maximum time allowed for pre-request or test scripts to execute.
• On Error : Abruptly halts execution on errors.
• On Failure : Gracefully halts on errors or assertion failures.
• Always Run : If set to true, it will ensure that the test case runs even if it depends on a test case that failed.
