Package com.rational.test.ft.datapool Description

The package com.rational.test.ft.datapool provides the datapool factory and iterator classes. Datapool support is based on the Hyades datapool interface. IDatapool is the base interface for all Functional Tester datapools.

Factory Support

The datapool factory is a singleton class that provides access to an instance of a datapool or iterator class. Datapools are loaded from a file specification of an RFTDP or RFTXDP type file. Each instance may optionally be shared across multiple requests for the same datapool. Refer to the IDatapoolFactory interface for a detailed discussion of the factory capabilities.

Iterator Support

An iterator provides orderly access to records in a specific datapool. The access order is either SEQUENTIAL or RANDOM. Refer to the IDatapoolIterator interface for a detailed discussion of the datapool iterator capabilities.
