RE: What is data - driven automation?
 
An application has to be tested with multiple sets of data.The automation test script written for one input can be used for number of inputs using DDTin WINRUNNERThe test script has to be converted into DDT by creating a corresponding data table with the sets od data you want to test. 
 
 
In DDt we have functions to open and to close the table.They are 
DDT_OPEN(); And DDT_CLOSE(); 
 
A table can be openned in READ or READ WRITE mode.. 
 
 
 
We want to test multiple sets of data so we use TSL function  
 
for loop. 
 
We can retrive the data from a particular row by using the ROW_COUNT(); 
function. 
 
We have to "parameterize" the data
