Providing tests with variable data

If you associate a value in a test with a datapool column, the test substitutes column data for that value when it runs.

1. Datapools and performance testing
   Datapools provide variable data to your tests during execution.
2. Creating a datapool
   Datapools contain data that tests can use when they run.
3. Opening a datapool
   Inspect or modify the contents of a datapool.
4. Editing a datapool
   In a manner similar to editing a spreadsheet, you can add, modify or remove data from a datapool.
5. Accessing a datapool from a Hyades test
   You can use a datapool from a Hyades test by making calls to the datapool API from a test's generated Java code.
