Proxies with Data-Driven Capabilities

There are many proxies in the Test Automation for IBM Win-Forms (Rational Functional Tester) product that support data-driven tests. With data-driven tests, you can separate test scripts from the test data. To do this, you need to parameterize the test script to use data stored in an external file (the datapool) using data-driven tests. This gives you the ability to share test data between different scripts. You can also change the test data by simply updating the datapool file without having to updating the test script.
