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.

Add assertion

  1. Switch to the REST Request and click Smart Assertion:

    Functional API testing: Smart Assertion button

    Click the image to enlarge it.

  2. ReadyAPI will create an assertion based on the most recent response and automatically configure which values are expected for which data fields:

  3. You can uncheck boxes to exclude certain fields from the assertion or configure comparison operators and expected values. When you are done, click Save:

    Functional API testing: Configure assertion

    Click the image to enlarge it.

You have added the Smart Assertion to your test request. It will verify that the response data matches the expected values. You can find the added assertion in the Assertions panel:
