Regarding dataset mapping with csv or excel file

vivek goyal Posts: 16 8/31/2015	vivek goyal Posts: 16 Hi, I have one query on dataset. I knew that we can import data from csv file to tool. But is it possible that i place data in one file somewhere in computer and save its path in tool. So that everytime i do not need to change data in dataset. Kindly confirm.

For example, when in the test <Test Name>* you create a dataset <Dataset Name> and import data from an external .csv file, then StresStimulus will create the following file: %My Documents%\Fiddler2\StresStimulus\<Test Name>\<Test Name>_<Dataset Name>.csv and populate it with data from the external .csv file. Unfortunately, you cannot rename or move this file to a different location. But you can change the content of this file. After that, re-open StresStimulus to re-load the new dataset content. Will this work for you? Cheers, -Max
