StringFunctions Function Type

StringFunctions allow you to manipulate and transform text strings effortlessly. These functions enable you to combine strings and perform dynamic substitutions of placeholders with actual values, supporting various testing and data generation needs.

Prerequisites

Before utilising the different data generator functions, it's essential to understand basic concepts such as creating Test Cases and Test Steps and adding data generators in test steps. Additionally, familiarize yourself with Parameters, Runtime and Environments.

Selecting StringFunctions as a Function Type for Data Generator

1. Use NLP to create a new step in the test case and include a placeholder for test data.
2. Click on the test data placeholder. From the Test Data Types dropdown menu, select the ! Data Generator option.
3. On the ! Data Generators overlay screen, select the Type to Default. This will enable you to use a collection of built-in test data generators.
4. Select StringFunctions from the Function Type dropdown list.
