Equal verification points enable you to check that the
contents returned by a service match exactly the contents specified
in the verification point.
About this task
When you add verification points, the results from a service
response are compared with the expected data specified in the verification
point test element.
Equal or
contain verification
points enable you to directly compare the XML document that the service
returns.
- Contain verification points return a Pass status when the response
XML document contains the expected XML data.
- Equal verification points return a Pass status when the response
XML document matches exactly the expected XML data.
Complex service requests or verification points might have empty XML elements that
are not needed in a test script. When playing back the test, you can skip such empty XML elements.
In ensure that the Display the 'Skip if empty' column in XML tree
viewer check box is selected. This option displays a Skip if
empty column in the tree view of the request. You can then choose the XML elements to
skip.
What to do next
You can enable or disable each verification point by right-clicking
the verification point in the test editor and clicking
Enable or
Disable.
