Question

need advice on data driven test automation.

I am doing test automation using C# ann Nunits for a web application which is developed using MVC. We are using Selenium web drivers for this.

As part of data driven testing, which one is good to use for input test data is it xml files or a sql server db.

If we are using db is it good to have some ORM(NHibernate) for db connectivity.

Thanks

How to use

   [Test, TestCaseSource("GetTestData")]
    public void MyExample_Test(int data1, int data2, int expectedOutput)
    {
        var methodOutput = MethodUnderTest(data2, data1);
        Assert.AreEqual(expectedOutput, methodOutput, string.Format("Method failed for data1: {0}, data2: {1}", data1, data2));
    }


    private IEnumerable<int[]> GetTestData()
    {
         while (data.ReadNext()) // Use your custom logic based on Stream to get new data (basically Implement IEnumerator on data class)
          yield return new[] { data.Current };
    }
