AMQP Receive
About AMQP Receive test step
Use this test step to simulate the actions of an AMQP consumer. The test step connects to an AMQP broker and fetches a message from a queue.
Note
To use the test step, you must have the AMQP Support Plugin installed. You can install it on the Integrations tab.
Requirements
To use this test step, you need ReadyAPI Test Licenses. If you do not have it, you can request it on our website or start a trial.
Editing AMQP Receive test step
You can modify the setting of the test step in its editor:
 |
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.
