Verifying application behavior
To check the expected behavior of the application during
a service test, you can add verification points after a message return.
During the run, verification points produce a pass, fail, error, or
inconclusive status in the Web Service Verification Point report.
Adding equal verification points Equal verification points enable you to check that the contents returned by a service match exactly the contents specified in the verification point.Adding contain verification points With contain verification points, you can check that one or several elements of the XML content returned by a service match the XML fragment that is specified in the verification point.Adding Xpath query verification points With service query verification points, you can check that a response matches an Xpath query.Adding attachment verification points Service attachment verification points enable you to check that the attachment of a service response matches the specified criteria.Adding Text verification points To check the text content that is returned by the service response, you can add a text verification point in the service test. When you add the verification point, you can check whether the text matches equally with the response or whether the response contains the text.Adding properties verification points to a test response You can add verification points for the properties in a service test so that these properties in the test response are verified and validated when you play back the test.Adding XSD verification points XSD verification points enable you to check that the XML content of a service response comply with the rules defined in an XML Schema Definition (XSD) file.
