Applies to ReadyAPI 3.56, last modified on October 29, 2024

Now, you have a test case with a data source, a test step that uses this source, and a data source loop executed during the test run.

Your test case is ready. Click on the test case toolbar to run the test.

You did not use any assertions to validate requests, so the assertion status for the request is UNKNOWN. You can see it in the Status column. The data source and the data source loop are always Passed, since it is impossible to assert them.

To check the response for a particular request made during the run, click Open in the respective row:
