Test data used to validate the test

[Hashamshaik]

It is good to add the test data used to validate the scenario on either pass/fail. for example user name and password used to login to the app. May be you can specify an object to use in the tests to add custom message(test data) to the report by the user.

I'm not too sure what I understand by "add the test data". Are you referring to a more detailed, more Minitest-y description of the error? An error message would only be shown on failure, so how would that help with passing tests?

Hi Chris,

I was referring to an option to write something to the report (optional) even when the Testcase is passed.

As example, if my testcase Login with different accounts passed, how do I confirm my Manager that which users were used to login? So if I can write some custom message that userA, UserB, userC login was success then this will give the report viewer (Managers) that the so and so users were used rather looking into the data.yml files.

Hope I'm clear.

Thanks, Hasham
