Comment #14 on issue 500 by bryan.oakley: Possibility to specify 'Test
Template' for all tests to ease data-driven testing
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=500
I personally don't like the term "Template" since it's not really a
template.
"Template" to me means "this is mostly complete, just fill in the blanks".
But this
functionality says "use this keyword for every row" which is something
completely
different to my way of thinking.
"Default keyword" is better, but even that is inaccurate. It's not the
default, it's
the keyword that will be applied to every row. "Default" implies "unless I
specify
something different", but I can't specify something different down in the
test.
Instead of [Template] or [Workflow] how about [Test Type], with an argument
being
either "standard" or "single-keyword" or something.
[Test Type] | single keyword | Some Keyword
The above would apply "Some Keyword" to every row in the test. This opens
the door to
other types of tests without having to add new settings. For example, maybe
the first
argument could some day be "performance" with arguments for how many times
to repeat
the test, etc.
