About AMQP Publish test step

Editing AMQP Publish test step

You can modify the settings of the test step in its editor:

All the above-mentioned fields support property expansions.

Create/Edit AMQP Connection dialog

Use the Create AMQP Connection and Edit AMQP Connection dialogs to configure connections used by the test step. Both dialogs have the same set of options.

Note

ReadyAPI stores AMQP connections at the project level. This means that a connection defined for one test step can be used for all the test steps in other test cases and test suites of the project.
