Hello Gokul,

data driven testing is supported directly by QF-Test as explained in
manual chapter 14:

http://www.qfs.de/qftest/manual/en/user_datadriver.html#usec_datadriver

Whether you want to use additional test management or test execution
or continuous integration frameworks is up to you and your company's
policies.

For a list of tools for which an explicit integration exists, please
see manual chapters 19 and 20:

http://www.qfs.de/qftest/manual/en/user_testmanagement.html#usec_testmanagement

http://www.qfs.de/qftest/manual/en/buildtools.html#usec_buildtools

Best regards,
    Greg
