The properties file is similar to the text file but with the .properties file extension. It is widely used in Java apps to store and configure parameters.

Data-Driven testing using the properties file as the data source is feasible on Selenium WebDriver to handle small data. Create a .properties file and store the keywords with a constant key (search). In Eclipse, open the project, right-click on the src folder and select New| Other... | General | File. Name the file with the.properties extension, for example, config.properties.
