Manage Test Data

KCM Designer uses data to generate documents. All the data received from the repository and collected from interaction with the clients is defined by the Data Backbone. KCM Designer also gives you the ability to manage data that is used to test the documents.

There are two ways to manage the Test Data content:

  • To create a new XML file containing the data you need and upload it to KCM Designer
  • To edit an existing data file

Edit Test Data

You can download an existing XML Test Data file, make changes to it, and then upload it back to KCM Designer.

  1. Navigate to Data.
  2. Click Data Backbone and then click Manage Test Data in the Other Actions pane on the right.

    The Test Data Manager window appears.

  3. Click the pencil icon next to the existing data file and then click Download in the new dialog box.
    The file is downloaded to your computer.
  4. Open the file in a text editor. Make necessary changes to the data and save the updated file.
    Make changes only to the values, leaving the XML structure and tags intact.
  5. In the Test Data Manager window, click Add. Enter a name for the new data and click the pencil icon.
  6. Navigate to the XML Test Data file you just edited, click it, and then click Open.
  7. Click OK.
    The XML file is ready to be used in tests. Delete the older file if it is no longer needed.
  8. Close the Test Data Manager.
