Practice Exercise - Excel Driven Testing - 2

The video tutorial explains how to use an ArrayList in Java to store data from Excel sheets. It covers creating a method to retrieve data, implementing a test case, and running the test to fetch data. The tutorial emphasizes separating Excel handling code from test cases for cleaner code. It also hints at handling integer values in Excel in the next lecture.

What is the primary reason for not hardcoding test case names in the ArrayList?

• To make the code more readable

• To ensure the code is generic and reusable

• To reduce the number of lines of code

• To improve the performance of the code

What is the purpose of the 'get data' method in the context of test cases?

• To delete test case data

• To print the test case data

• To store test case data in a database

• To retrieve and return test case data as an ArrayList

Why is it important to make the data retrieval method generic?

• To enable the method to handle different types of data

• To make the method faster

• To allow for hardcoding of test case names

• To ensure it can be used across various test cases

How can the retrieved data be used in Selenium tests?

• By ignoring the data and using default values

• By hardcoding the data into the test

• By using the data in send keys or other input methods

• By converting the data into a different format

In what order is data stored in the ArrayList?

• Reverse order

• The order in which it is retrieved

• Alphabetical order

• Random order

What is the main advantage of separating Excel handling from test logic?

• It increases the execution time of the tests

• It makes the test cases longer

• It allows for more complex Excel operations

• It simplifies the test cases and makes them cleaner

What is the role of the 'get data' utility in the context of Excel data?

• To modify Excel data

• To create new Excel data

• To retrieve and use Excel data in tests

• To delete Excel data

How does the architecture discussed help in test case development?

• By increasing the number of test cases

• By making the code more complex

• By separating concerns and simplifying test logic

• By integrating Excel handling directly into the test

What is a potential issue when retrieving integer values from Excel as strings?

• The integer values might be misinterpreted as strings

• The integer values might be converted to floats

• The integer values might be duplicated

• The retrieval process might fail

What should be done if integer values are present in the Excel data?

• Convert them to strings

• Handle them separately to avoid errors

• Ignore them

• Store them as floats
