Preparing the Test Automation Architecture (TAA)

Question

You are evaluating several test modelling tools and are wanting to automatically generate test cases within the tool where many different combinations of input data are created. You are then wanting to export the test cases into a .csv file which can then be read by a functional test execution tool using a data-driven or keyword-driven scripting method. You have investigated several tools and there is only one tool that provides all the necessary features defined by your team with the exception of the export facility. It does not provide an export into either .xls or .csv formats. What would be the BEST next step regarding the selection of this tool?

Options

  • BExplore the possibility of creating your own export facility.
  • CAsk the vendor and use forums to see if a solution is available or going to be available in the
  • DPurchase this tool and generate the .csv file manually.
