RE: what are the drawbacks of data driven test?

i think there are no drawbacks of data driven test.....

data driven test is meant for the retesting with the different data..then its not a problem. might be the question regarding the drawbacks in implementation of Retesting in WinRunner

we can implement data driven test in 4 methods in winrunner

1. Dyanamic Test Data Submission

2. From Flat files

3. From frontend grids.

4. Through Excel Sheet

we can implement it in four different types.. we have four means there are some drawbacks in first methods the drawback is going to give a need for new methods.

Drawbacks:

1. in the first method user intervention is required. it is not feasible to test with laarge test data. in this user has to sit on and has to enter each and every time.

2. the secod one is flat file -> in this the coding part is going to be tedious

3. Frontend -> always it may not be possible to have data in frontend tables or list boxes or ....

4. this is best method for implemeting the data driven test easy customizable wizard is given for this.
