Check previous test step for the existence of a value

Hopefully this is something that is covered off in the existing functionality of Ready API.   I have a value in the results of Test Step B which is the Amount 742.50   <ns2:Rates> <ns2:RateTotal...

The issue is KarelHusa the value can appear in a variety of positions .. there is not just 1 amount returned .. there are many .. so i am looking to match the current result 'anywhere' in the previous step's result.

    thatsthat,

    XPath assertions work exactly for such purpose.

     

    An XPath expression like //ns2:BuyTotal/ns2:Amount = 742.50 should work for you.

     

    ReadyAPI will help you declare namespaces and set up the XPath expression; please look at XPath Match docs for more detail.
