AIO Tests allows users to create input values (or variables) on a project level that can be used directly within the test cases with the click of a button. By creating predefined parameters in AIO Tests, you can execute the same test case multiple times with different data inputs without copying and maintaining duplicate test cases. This test management tool allows users not only edit, delete, and archive the parameters, but also edit and delete their parameter values. 

By using parameterized test cases, you can not only increase the flexibility of your test cases, but also achieve greater test coverage with fewer cases to manage.

In this documentation, you’ll understand:
