Recapture a test result baseline¶

As the logic of your flow changes, so the test data files representing your desired output will also need to change. DataStage® can automatically re-baseline your expected output based on an execution of your DataStage job. Note that while this process is similar to the process described in Capturing test data this process differs in that it only captures the output(s) of your job.

Process¶

1. In the test case editor, open the Test data in use tree and select the test output file(s) you want to re-baseline.
2. In the data area above the table click the trash icon to delete the data file.
3. Your test specification now refers to at least one CSV data file which no longer exists. Execute your test case without changing the specification. DataStage will identify that no expected results exist for the file(s) you’ve deleted and re-create them using the data captured at runtime. Note that test case will fail when executed in this mode.
4. Re-execute the same test case job. DataStage will now use the new baseline results files and your test case will pass.
