Advantages

It is very convenient for working in big test suites. The method allows to insert values in one file and change all the necessary input data that can be used in one or several test cases at a time without any change in the test suite.

When automating in this way it is possible to save the output values corresponding to each input value in the file if there are such values, of course.

It makes it possible to fully automate test cases. It allows to observe test cases for different input values without changing

test cases and locators. By leaving the test cases unchanged, it is possible to continually use the

same test cases, which makes it easy to perform testing, especially regression testing.

Makes it easy to find the error location.
