Much of application testing involves data input into similar controls in an application's forms, then processing the data and reporting results to ensure the application works as expected. When automated through Silk Test Workbench, testers can validate the reliability of applications often using only the set of data that was input during recording.
With the ActiveData testing feature, testers can leverage existing and new data in their own data banks such as customer records for data input to create powerful automated application testing solutions. Automated tests using ActiveData can run multiple transactions through an application, using a different set of existing data for each transaction.
Data used for input can be managed separately or within Silk Test Workbench. Making changes to data between playback runs provides even greater and more efficient testing flexibility.
