+TEST DATA
+_________
+
+INI files are used to specify the data for PREQ871.
+INI files contain the data for all the test cases for PREQ871.
+
+The structure of data in INI file is divided into 3 parts : 
+1. DSC UID
+	This is the UID to be created/modified for the particular DSC.
+2. AMA
+	This contains the AMA filenames and arguments which will be passed to the EXE/APP during its launch.
+	Various commands can be mentioned here with respect to AMA Params like CreateWith,ModifyWith or CompareWith.
+	CreateWith command creates the AMA record in the data store with AMA params mentioned.
+	CompareWith command compares the parameters specified in the data (INI) file with that present in the
+	data store.
+	ModifyWith command updates the DSC record with the AMA parameters.
+	The commands are mentioned with AMA Params, to be used for creation, updation or comparison.
+3. AMA Params
+
+The division of data in the above metioned way in the data  (INI) file, make reuse of the same data for multiple test
+cases possible. Same AMAs or same AMA Params can be used for multiple test cases and thus preventing the over growing
+of test data without any specific requirement.
+

+________________
+ENUMERATION FILE
+________________
+
+To make the data in the data file (INI) readable, the actual enums are specified there which are used in production code.
+There can be multiple enum files (../sysstarttest/ini/tdscstore_enumfile.ini) if required , and the enumfile can be specified in
+the test data file, which will be used to resolve the enumerations to actual value.
+Allowing this way, we may not be required to change the test code with any new values introduced or any existing values
+modified.
