API Functional Test: we’ve been busy :-)

 

Have a look at API Functional Test.  Since our public release last sprint, we’ve been very busy:

  • Import Swagger (Open API) files to create scenarios: import all verb + endpoint combinations or only selected ones
  • Use test data from CSV files
  • Dynamically pull file content into request body
  • Add file attachments (binary files) to requests
  • New request methods (PATCH, OPTIONS, HEAD, CONNECT)
  • Text type assertions - define assertions without the need to know regular expression syntax
  • JSONPath value assertions - assert the value found at the defined JSONPath
  • Response time assertions for individual requests
  • Common functions - generating random numbers or random strings for parameters in your test or base64 or URL encoding strings
  • All private locations are available from the UI for API Functional Test
  • Download test script from the UI (Taurus YAML)

 

Reminder: JMeter <2.13 will be deprecated April 29th

 

We will deprecate JMeter versions <2.13 on April 29th.  When we do, we’ll switch to executing these older scripts with the 2.13 engine.

 

Usage Report now shows if run from UI, API, Jenkins, etc...

 

Usage reports now include an “Execution Client Id” column so you can see at a glance whether test was run from UI, API, Taurus, Jenkins, etc...
