To datadrive we have to parameterize.i.e. we have to make the constant value as parameter, so that in each iteraration(cycle) it takes a value that is supplied in run-time datatable. Through parameterization only we can drive a transaction(action) with different sets of data. You know running the script with the same set of data several times is not suggestable, & it's also of no use.

A parameter is avariable that is assigned a value from an external data source or generator.You can parameterize values in steps and checkpoints in your test or component. You can also parameterize the values of action parameters.
There are four types of parameters:

1. Test, action or component parameters
2. Data Table parameters
3. Environment variable parameters
4. Random number parameters

The objective of parameterization and Data – Driven test our application with different sets of data. In parameterization we pass the test data directly to the script in data driven test we take the test data in another file and parameterize the file to the script

Parameterization done by selecting the particular parameter after the recording and specifies it change values indicting as data table the parameter will be appears on the data table we can give the different values then run the script we can get the ans with the specified parameter values.

Where in the Datadriven test 1st we have to give the values in excel sheet and then we have to call this to QTP then we can run the test.
