Hi Laval,

I suggest to prepare explicit test data where you exactly know what to expect, e.g. one set of data to produce exactly 3 input fields and then test these 3 fields. Having "logic" in the test raises the question of how to test that logic? Therefore we generally avoid such things.

If you still need/want to do it, you could use the SQL tag to generate a property file and then read this property file within your ant task test task in order to determine the number of required iterations with <repeat>.

In a page, the number of inputfields are dynamically created from the data in the database. So that i don't know in advance how many inputfields i'm going to verify. Is there a way to do a select statement using the sql tag and store the count value in a property tag so that i can use that property in a repeat loop to verify the inputfields? Or are there other solutions to this problem?
