Oscar is right I may have given you a tough example so I'll dumb it down,
but it may not be dumbed down enough.
Simple ruby hash example:
Ref: google search: Ruby Class Hash
myHash = { "userName" => "henry", "password"=>"thepw" }
In your form fill assume two text fields login and password
browser.text_field(:id,'login').set(myHash.fetch('userName').to_s)
browser.text_field(:id,'password').set(myHash.fetch('password').to_s)
Ruby simple assignment example to illustrate parameter as a field input
userName='Joe'
password = 'thePW'
browser.text_field(:id,'login').set(userName)
browser.text_field(:id,'password').set(password)
I use excel as the data load just because I can generate and maintain data
quite easily, especially if I need to test some math or calculated
relationships of data sets.
Alternatives
use an array as data source - google search ruby class array
use a database as data source - google search ruby class dbi
use a file as a data source - google search ruby class file
use a yaml file as a data source
use an xml file as a data source
