Data Sources

Connect the data your tests need from the sources you already use.

What It Does

Data Sources give your test data a home outside of individual tests. You register the data your suite depends on once, then reference it wherever it is needed — in datasets, parameterized requests, and multi-step workflows. Because the data is centralized, refreshing it in one place updates every test that consumes it, eliminating the drift that happens when values are copied into dozens of tests. This separation of data from logic keeps large suites maintainable as inputs change over time.

Data sources registry connecting CSV, JSON, YAML, and database inputs to reusable datasets and tests

Overview

Define reusable data sources — uploaded files and structured connections — and reference them across projects to parameterize tests and workflows. Instead of pasting values into individual tests, your team maintains data centrally and points tests at it, so a single update propagates everywhere the data is used. Data sources keep test inputs consistent, version-friendly, and easy to refresh as your test data evolves.

Key Capabilities

Centralized, reusable data sources across projects
Feed datasets and parameterized tests from one place
Update data once and propagate everywhere it is used
Keep test inputs consistent and version-friendly
Separate test data from test logic for cleaner maintenance
Pairs with data-driven testing for large input matrices

How It Works

  1. 1

    Register a data source from an uploaded file or structured input

  2. 2

    Reference the data source from datasets and tests

  3. 3

    Parameterize requests and expected values from the source

  4. 4

    Update the source once to refresh every dependent test

  5. 5

    Combine with data-driven testing to cover input matrices
