Deploy a New Data Set

Data sets must be explicitly declared to DevTest at startup of DevTest Workstation so that the authoring framework can make the data set available for use in test cases. Like the Native Test Node, three classes are required for data sets. DevTest provides default implementations for the two classes that are not documented here. The default controller is com.itko.lisa.editor.DataSetController and the editor is named com.itko.lisa.editor.DefaultDataSetEditor. Notice that some of the built-in data sets use these classes.

They are connected in the lisaextensions file, as follows:

datasets=com.itko.examples.dataset.CSVDataSet
 com.itko.examples.dataset.CSVDataSet=com.itko.lisa.editor.DataSetController,com.itko.lisa.editor.DefaultDataSetEditor

See the information about the lisaextensions file in Extending DevTest Solutions for more details on how to register your data set.

As with all custom test elements, make the classes that you have developed and the lisaextensions file available to DevTest. The most common way to make them available is to bundle them in a jar file that is placed in the hot deploy directory.
