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.

You must have recorded or created a service test using the test editor.

When you add verification points, results from a service response are compared with the expected data specified as the verification point test element. You can add the verification point for the properties to an existing test response when the test is manually created or recorded. After you add the verification point for the properties to a test response, you can verify the selected response properties during the test run.

  1. Identify the service test from Test Navigator and double-click the service test to open it in the test editor.
  2. Select a service response for a service request from the service test.
  3. Right-click the service response, click Add > Properties Verification Point.

    The Properties Verification Point is added based on the existing properties of the service response.

    Note:
    You can add multiple verification points for the properties, if required.
  4. Perform any of the following on the verification points for the properties in the Properties Verification Point Details pane.
    To Do... Do This...
    To add a new property and its value Click Add.
    To edit the value of an existing property Click Edit.
    To remove the property that you do not want to verify during the test run Click Remove.
    Note:
    You can remove multiple properties in a group at the same time.
  5. Select or clear the Apply And Operator check box based on the requirement as follows:
    • To verify all the listed properties, select the Apply And Operator check box.
    • To verify one of the listed properties, clear the Apply And Operator check box.
  6. Optionally, you can substitute the value of one or more properties in the verification point by using a test variable, data set, custom java code, or built-in variables.
  7. Verify all the verification points for the properties that you entered, and then click Save.
The verification points that you added for the response properties are added to the service test.
You can run the test and after the test run, you can view and analyze the properties verification point details from the following page and reports:
  • Verdict List pane in the Test Log page. Click any of the verification point from the list and view the details.
  • Response Properties Verification Points tab in the Service Verification Point Report. Click the Response Properties Verification Points tab and view the verification point details.
  • Verification points verdicts pane from the Functional Test report page. Click any of the verdict status to verify the expected value and actual value of the verification point for the properties.
