3. Modify Functional Test

This step shows how to add test steps to test cases and update their request parameters.

Add request test step

  1. In the Navigator tree, hover over the test case node and click the hamburger menu (flyout-ellipsis.png).

  2. In the flyout menu, select the REST Request test step. To find it faster, start typing its name in the Add Test Step search field.

Modify request parameters

Now, we have two requests that simulate the same operation. Let’s change their parameters so that the requests return different sets of data:

  1. In the Navigator tree, select the GET Request test step.

  2. In the request editor, click somewhere within the Value cell of the status row and type available. Press Enter to confirm the change.

  3. Similarly, select the second request in the test case, and enter sold in the Value cell for the status parameter. Press Enter to confirm the change:
