Vansah’s latest Test Data Collection management provides a structured, version-controlled approach to managing reusable Test Data. It enables teams to define Test Data Variables once and safely reuse them across Test Cases and Test Scripts with reference to Test Environments.
This capability is designed to support scalable, data-driven testing, while significantly reducing data duplication, manual updates, and ongoing maintenance effort. (Currently in Beta release with final version release expected February 2026)
Core Concept
A Test Data Collection is a centralized container that stores test variables and datasets. These variables can be dynamically referenced within test scripts and are resolved automatically at execution time.
Data resolution is based on:
The selected Test Environment or Test Case
The active Test Data Collection version
This allows the same test case or script to run across multiple environments (for example, QA, UAT, or Production) without requiring any changes to the test logic itself.
How It Works in Practice
From a Test Case or Test Environment create a Test Data Collection and define the required variables.
Manage versions of the collection using Archive and Restore (the default version remains active).
Reference variables dynamically within test scripts.
Execute tests, where Vansah automatically resolves the correct data based on the selected environment and active collection version.
