Advantages and Disadvantages of using DataTable as a Data Source

Advantages and Disadvantages of using DataTable as a Data Source

Advantages

• a) The main advantage of this method is that it is very each to script for taking data from the datatable.
• b) Another advantage is that you can use the ‘Run on all rows’ setting to run the same script for multiple data without making any changes in the script.

Disadvantages

• a) This concept can’t be used for complex frameworks where you need to reuse the same set of data for different test cases.
• b) This method also doesn’t work with modular framework where the test data needs to be grouped based on the functions rather than test cases.
