Spreadsheet Requirements for Table-Pair Tests

Spreadsheet Requirements for Table-Pair Tests

You can generate tests for a table pair based on the test definitions specified in a spreadsheet.
Consider the following requirements for the spreadsheet:
  • Define tests in the first worksheet of an Excel workbook. Data Validation Option reads the first worksheet and ignores other worksheets in an Excel workbook.
  • The Excel file must have a .xls or .xlsx file extension.
  • To define tests for multiple table pairs, define tests for each table pair in a separate Excel workbook.
  • You can only define one test per row.
  • You must specify a field name or a field expression for each table in each row of the spreadsheet. If you specify a field name and field expression for the same table in a row, Data Validation Option uses the expression.
  • If you select an operator that is not valid for a particular datatype and you try to import the tests from the spreadsheet, Data Validation Option displays an error.
  • The values in the spreadsheet are case sensitive.
