# Data Parametrization

Data Parameterization allows you to run the same test steps with different sets of input values. You can provide input values directly hardcoded in the test steps or use an Excel sheet or Data Table when you need to execute the same test with multiple sets of data. This allows you to use one test case to test the same scenario with different input data, instead of creating separate test cases for each data set.

Avo Assure supports the following methods for Data Parameterization:

* **Excel sheet**: Use an excel sheet to store multiple sets of input values and use them during test execution.
* **Data Table**: Use a Data Table in Test Data Management to store and manage multiple sets of input values within Avo Assure.

Both methods allow you to run the same test steps with different data, making it easier to manage test data and reuse test cases.

This article explains how to configure data parameterization using an excel sheet or Data Table.

### Prerequisites

Ensure the following requirements are met before performing data parameterization in Avo Assure:

* Avo Assure Client is installed and connected to Avo Assure.
* The required test data is available in an Excel sheet or Data Table.
* The Excel file or Data Table is accessible from the configured location.
* The required test case flow is designed.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/create-and-execute-tests-with-design-studio/working-with-test-case-section/features-in-test-case-section-1/data-parametrization.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
