Answer 1

We have jasmine-data-provider package which will helps us in doing data driven testing with Protractor.

Code Snippet:

var using = require(‘jasmine-data-provider);
var loginData = require('../example/Test Data/Test.json');


 describe('Data driven test spec', function () { /*define sets of input data as array in method called arrayOfData*/
     function arrayOfData() {
       return [
              {
                "username": "admin",
                "passwordField": "admin"
              },

             {
              "username": "admin1",
              "passwordField": "admin2"
              }
          ]
         //or return loginData json object here
   } /*below one will loop the test case based on data size and pass single data set every time till complete the end of array*/

using(arrayofData, function (inputData) {
    it('test case logic to be executed for each set of data', function () {
        browser.get("http://127.0.0.1:8080/#/login");
        element(by.model("username")).sendKeys(inputData.username);
        element(by.model("password")).sendKeys(inputData.passwordField); 
        element(by.buttonText("Authenticate")).click();
    });
  });
 });

NOTE: If jasmine-data-provider package NOT yet installed in your machine, please install it by running below command before going to run test script.

 npm install jasmine-data-provider
