We are developing the automation framework using Perl, where we have decide we will write the .PM modules to insert and update the database. But one of my colleague is suggesting to configuring the database ( inserting and updating) we will create .ini files so before running test suit, each one will access and modify the .ini as per their need and start the testing, . But What I feel is this will be like so much configuration they have to do before running the test case.
Please suggest the best way, Should we continue writing scripting for database or ini files are best. whichever is more convenient we will follow that.
