Lesson 5: Adding data to the datapool

In this lesson, you will add data to the datapool to test that the ClassicsCD sample application correctly totals each order placed in the application.

  1. In the Script Explorer, double-click Test Datapool and then double-click Private Test Datapool. In the test script editor, double-click the Test Datapool tab to expand the datapool editor so that you can work.

    The datapool editor opens and should look similar to the following table:

      Composer Item Quantity Card# CardType ExpDate Name Street CityStZip Phone Total
    0 Schubert String Quartets Nos. 4 & 14 1 1234567890 Visa 09/09 Trent Culpito 75 Wall St. Ny, Ny 12212 212-552-1867 $19.99
  2. Position your mouse pointer in the datapool editor, right-click, and then click Add Record. Click OK to add a row after the first row.
  3. To add a second empty row, right-click Add Record.

    To save time, copy the data from row 0 in the datapool into the two empty rows that you created in steps 2 and 3.

  4. Position the mouse pointer in the row 0 cell, right-click, and then click Copy.
  5. Position the mouse pointer in the row 1 cell, right-click, and then click Paste.
  6. Click Yes to paste the data into the empty row.
  7. Position the mouse pointer in the row 2 cell, right-click, and then click Paste.
  8. Click Yes to paste the data into the empty row.
  9. Change the value in the Quantity and Total columns to test that the ClassicsCD sample application correctly totals each order:
    1. In row 1, in the Quantity column, select the cell and type 2.
    2. In row 1, in the Total column, select the cell and type $38.98.
    3. In row 2, in the Quantity column, select the cell and type 3.
    4. In row 2, in the Total column, select the cell and type $57.97.
    The data in the datapool should look like the following table:
      Composer Item Quantity Card# CardType ExpDate Name Street CityStZip Phone Total   Composer Item Quantity Card# CardType ExpDate Name Street CityStZip Phone Total
