As part of Marathonite (Marathon Integrated Testing Environment) a mechanism to convert an existing test case into a data driven test case will be added.
An existing test script can be converted to a data driven test by clicking on the “Convert to Data Driven” button available in the toolbar of Marathon Main Window.

When the button is clicked playback of the test script begins, breaking at every function call to prompt the user with the available parameters in the function call which can be made data driven.

def test():
	java_recorded_version = '1.5.0_24'

	if window('w1'):
		select('First Name', 'ABCDEF')
		select('Password', 'adsf')
		method1('ABC', 'DEF', 'GHI')
	close()

The parameters which are to be converted to data driven can be selected by selecting the checkbox available in the first column. Clicking on the “Continue” button continues execution of test script and breaks at the next function call (usually in the next line of the script). The “Step-In” button will be enabled when there is a call to the function which is defined in a module or another test script. Clicking on “Step-In” button will enter into the module function and converts the module function to data driven. Care should be taken while converting a module function to data driven as the module function might be used in other scripts where it is not expected to be data driven.

When the playback of the script is finished, the “Save Conversion” window is displayed. All the parameters which are selected to be data driven are displayed in tables with respective window names as table-titles.

When the “Save” button is clicked, the converted data driven script and a corresponding spreadsheet containing the entered values for the respective parameters are saved. Once the data driven script is saved the user can choose to generate the data by clicking on “Generate Data” button. On clicking “Generate Data”, another window appears where user is required to configure the type, format and other attributes for each parameter for which the data is to be generated. (You will get to see another post explaining about “Data Generation” very soon.)

After configuring the parameters, when the “Generate” button is clicked, data for the required parameters is generated and saved into the spreadsheet which was created earlier while saving the data driven script.
