ADV Parameter

The ADV (Advance) parameter is used in the Get Param action when applying data parameterization in Avo Assure. It helps you retrieve test data and execute test cases, especially when working with large or multiple datasets stored in a single Excel sheet.

Purpose and Usage

• The ADV option is used when there are multiple data sets related to multiple test cases stored in one Excel sheet.

• It is helpful when testing the same test cases across different environments (for example, QA, UAT, or Production).

• By using ADV, Avo Assure can dynamically pick the right data set during execution, reducing the need to maintain multiple Excel files.

Organizing Test Data in Excel for Multiple Test Cases

1. When adding the test data of multiple test cases in a single Excel sheet, make sure to segregate the test data by defining their names as the header values.

Note: Ensure the header values and test case names are the same so that they can be identified easily during execution in Avo Assure

1. When adding the test data of multiple test cases that are linked together in an end-to-end flow within a single Excel sheet, provide the header value as the name of the end-to-end flow.

Note: Avo Assure identifies the correct set of test data for the entire end-to-end flow during execution.
