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

pro.png 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:

AMQP Testing: Receiving a message

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.

You can also change the test step behavior by using the step properties on the AMQPReceiveTestStep Properties and Custom AMQP Receive Test Step Properties tabs.
