Apica Data Repository will help to accomplish the data sharing across the scripts during the execution, eliminating the need to attach data to the ZT script before executing to manage data. The ADR tool provides a shared data table that can be accessed by multiple scripts during the execution to manage data ( CRUD operations)
To communicate with ADR for data retrieval and feeding, ZebraTester now includes new inline functions.
