Hi,
You could define properties in a Properties TestStep, that could be easily modified by non-technical users, and then use property expansion in XPath Match assertion. For example, if using our Sample Project from Tutorial distributed with soapUI installation, where #Item,# least and #most are predefined properties
declare namespace sam='http://www.soapui.org/sample/';
//sam:searchResponse/item[id="${Properties: Wanted Response#Item}"]/price >= ("${Properties: Wanted Response#least}")
and
//sam:searchResponse/item[id="${Properties: Wanted Response#Item}"]/price <= ("${Properties: Wanted Response#most}" )
can be used for comparing if search response value is in some predefined range.
I hope this was what you meant.
