In this post we will learn the way to add and remove Data Binding from a Web Test in Test Studio. Before binding data on a test, we need to have DataSource added in the project. We can add DataSource as following.

Step 1:

Select the Project tab and from Data Sources group, click on the Add menu button

Step 2:

Choose the type of data source you are interested in adding. After choosing data source browse to file location to select the data source. Click on Ok button to add data source in the Test project.

Step 3:

After adding data source verify in Data Sources that data source being added. In this case we have added an Excel File as data source with name searchdata.

Once data source is added in the project we need to follow below steps to bind a data source to a test.

Step 1:

Right click on the Test and click on DataBind

Step 2:

Bind test to data source window will get prompted to you. Here you need to select the data source.

Step 3:

In drop down you will get the entire data source added to the project. You need to choose one to create data binding for the test.

Step 4:

After selecting data source you need to select the table or sheet in case of excel.
