Another way to parameterize tests is with values stored in a data source. with values from a data source. Data sources are added at the test suite and saved in a .tst file. You can specify one or more data sources for a test suite and can use any specified data source throughout a test suite’s tools. In addition, you can create an aggregate data source in which you can combine the values of other available data sources into a single data source.
For example, you can configure SOAtest to send data source values as part of a request to a server. The values that SOAtest receives in response can then be compared to another data source value to check if the response received is correct. SOAtest will check each available combination of data source rows. This behavior is particularly useful if you want SOAtest to perform functional testing on a number of different inputs stored in a data source.
