1. A method of performing a test, comprising:
- performing a first test with a first test system;
performing a second test with a second test system;
in each of the first and second test systems, receiving plural parameters; and
in each of the first and second test systems, identifying a file name of a data file to use in each of the first and second tests based on the plural parameters.

Abstract
A test system having a test module for performing a test of one of plural databases. The test is performed using a common file. The file name of the common file is identified with a data source routine, which identifies the file name based on received first and second values. The first value is a predetermined string that is part of the file name of the common file, and the second value represents one of the plural databases. The file name of the common file is generated based on the concatenation of the first and second values.

14. A test system comprising:
-
an interface to a network coupled to a storage unit containing a data file for use in a test;
a control unit;
a routine executable on the control unit to receive a first parameter and a second parameter and to combine the first and second parameters to form a string, the routine to identify a file name of the data file based on the string.

23. A method of performing a test, comprising:
-
receiving a first parameter containing a predetermined value;
receiving a second parameter representing a database to perform a test on;
concatenating the first parameter and the second parameter to generate a string that is at least a portion of a file name; and
searching a predetermined directory on a device to find a test file containing the string.

27. A system comprising:
-
an interface to a network coupled to a storage unit containing a directory of data files;
a control unit;
a routine executable on the control unit to receive a first parameter and a second parameter and to concatenate the first and second parameters to form a string, the first parameter containing a predetermined value, and the second parameter representing a database to perform a test on, the routine executable to search the directory to find a file name of one of the data files that contains the string and to set the one data file as the data file to use for the test; and
a test module executable on the control unit to perform the test.

28. A method of performing tests, comprising:
-
receiving a predetermined common parameter;
receiving a second parameter representing a database to perform a test on;
concatenating the common parameter and the second parameter to generate a string that is at least a portion of a file name; and
searching a predetermined directory on a device to find a test file containing the string, wherein receiving the common parameter, receiving the second parameter, concatenating the common parameter and the second parameter, and searching the predetermined directory is performed in each of plural test systems.
