Correlating a request value with a reference

You can manually correlate two values in a test such that the second is substituted from the first.

The value that you want to correlate a request value with must already exist as a test reference. See Creating a reference or field reference for instructions.
If a test that executes without error does not get the results that you expected, the cause might be that a value in a request needs to be correlated with a reference in a previous response. To correlate a test value with an existing test reference:
  1. Open the test.
  2. Locate the value that should be replaced by a reference.
  3. Highlight the value: with the left button pressed, drag your mouse over it.
  4. Right-click the highlighted value, select Substitute from > Reference, and choose the appropriate substitute value. To indicate that it has been correlated, the value is highlighted in dark green and the correlation is added to the Test data substitution table for this page.
