Static Data

Overview

Using static data, you can store and share a single, unchanging value across multiple tests. For example, you might define a placeholder called test_credit_card_number that is replaced with “4422 4422 4422 4422” during a test run. Now, whenever you insert the placeholder in a test step, your app title appears during test execution.

If you want to change the value, update the static data on the Test Data settings page in your Rainforest account.

Note: Variables are now called test data.
