Imagine having one powerful test script that adapts to different inputs, saving you from writing multiple tests for every scenario. This approach separates the test logic from the data itself, allowing your application to be stress tested across a wide range of inputs. Think of it as an obstacle course for your app, ensuring it can handle anything you throw at it. So, why is data-drive testing essential? First, it provides comprehensive coverage by ensuring edge cases are tested. It's also incredibly efficient. You use a single test script but with varied data, cutting down data redundancy. And finally, it's scalable. As your app grows, you simply update the data files and the same test logic handles the rest. Let's break it down into three steps.
