Hi, we currently have about 1000 testcases in our project. 20 testcases of them can be executed with 4 different variables (each having their values): - variable A with values YES/NO - variable B with values 1,2,3 - variable C with values 4,5,6 - variable D with values YES/NO/Planned (resulting in a total of 20x54=1080 combinations) options that I have: - create 1 testcase for each combination, but that is not maintainable - work with a custom field for each variable, but I only have 20 tests out of the 1000 that use these fields, so gives too much clutter - use parameters in the test. Problem here is that I am not triggered for this parameter until actual execution. Ideally I am triggered about this parameter the moment that I add the test in a test set. On that moment, I remember that I should add multiple instances to guarantee that at least some of the combinations are executed. Anybody had a similar case and found an elegant solution? Ideally, I would like to set a parameter on test set, where the tests in the test set having a parameter defined in the test case with the same name, take the value of the test set upon execution. In that way, I create test sets with parameters for variables A to D with specific values, and in that way, different combinations are executed in a controlled way. thx for some help!

For now, you could try adding the same test cases to a test set multiple times. and set different parameter values for each instance.
