Description Alexandru Georgescu 2015-10-13 07:44:57 UTC 
Evaluate and possibly integrate Data-Driven Tests framework for TCs.

DDT (Data-Driven Tests) allows us to multiply one test case by running it with different test data, and make it appear as multiple test cases. This framework should enable YP to increase coverage of existing TCs while also allowing us to keep the existing TCs collection compact.

The applicability is not yet determined for our project. Owner of the bug shall determine it.
Comment 2 Richard Purdie 2018-10-11 15:13:29 UTC 
I believe we already reuse tests against different machines and different data where we possibly can.
