Replacement Values for Functions

Introduction: You can find a description of this phase in section Phase 3 (Introduction).

If functions use external data sources like databases or configuration files on shares, it is possible to supply those functions with replacement values (1) for a mapping test. If, for example, a database were not reachable, a test would otherwise run into an error if a select statement was run on that database.

As a prerequisite, however, you must have set the option Use replacement values for functions in (2).
