Accessing Config Values

• Config values can be accessed in test file using <@variable> syntax

• We can use the config variables at the following columns:

  • UriPath

  • RequestHeader

  • RequestBody

  • ExpectedResponse

Storing Values

• Values can be stored using <$variable> syntax

• Storing values can be done at the OutputParam column

• Scope of stored value is the entire csv test file

  • Values stored in one test can be accessed by the subsequent tests

Predefined Values

Random String

• We can use predefined values in our test

• These include random values and current time

  • Random value: <@_RAND5>

    • Number 12 is the length of the random string. Max length is 31

    • One random string is generated per test file

    • eg. <@_RAND5> becomes a9t5a

Time

• Time: <@_TIME_20>

  • Time variable gets the current time UTC timezone

  • 20 is the length of the time string we want

  • eg. <@_TIME20> becomes 2020-04-23T14:23:33Z

• Time Epoch: <@_TIME_MS_13>

  • Time variable gets the current time UTC timezone

  • 13 is the length of the time string we want

  • eg. <@_TIME_MS_13> becomes 1587609999109

• Time String: <@_TIME_STRING_17>

  • Time variable gets the current time UTC timezone

  • 17 is the length of the time string we want

  • eg. <@_TIME_STRING_17> becomes 20200423024730910

Time Modification

• Modify Weeks

  • <@_TIME24+1w> -> adds 1 week

  • <@_TIME24-1w> -> subtracts 1 week

• Modify Days

  • <@_TIME24+3d> -> adds 3 days

  • <@_TIME24-3d> -> subtracts 3 days

• Modify Hours

  • <@_TIME24+72h> -> adds 72 hours

  • <@_TIME24-72h -> subtracts 72 hours

• Modify Minutes

  • <@_TIME24+10m> -> adds 10 minutes

  • <@_TIME24-10m> -> subtracts 10 minutes

Set Time

• Set Month

  • <@_TIME_24;setMonth:January>

  • Sets month to January

  • Command is separated by ";"

• Set Day

  • <@_TIME_24;setDay:Tuesday>

  • Sets day to Tuesday for current week

• Set Time

  • <@_TIME_24;setTime:14:23:33>

  • Sets time to 14:23:33

Time Zone

• <@_TIME_24;ZONE:Asia/Kolkata>

  • Sets timezone to Asia/Kolkata

Time Format

• <@_TIME_24;FORMAT:dd-M-yyyy hh:mm:ss>

  • We set time format to dd-M-yyy hh:mm:ss

  • We can set the format to any valid format

Combined Time Modifications

• We can combine multiple modification commands, separated by ";"

• eg. <@_TIME_24+1d;ZONE:Asia/Kolkata;FORMAT:dd-M-yyyy hh:mm:ss>
