Hi,

The licensed version of SoapUI/ReadyAPI does this out of the box and does it very well.  It's probably my favourite feature.

 

If you're using the open source version it can be achieved, but takes a bit of effort.  There are plenty of recipes/solutions on this forum and Stack Overflow which describe this how to do this.  I'm not going to link any particularly solution as its worth it to you to look at a couple of different solutions so see how this can be achieved.

 

Good luck,

 

Chris

    I could not find any recipe or answer for my problem on this forum and also on stack overflow. In this forum I searched "groovy data source". In stack overflow, I searched "ready-api groovy data source" & "[ready-api] groovy data source". I could not find any posts which provide hints or a recipe.

     

    So, do you know any better keywords to search or a solution to the problem?

      Hey rajs2020,

      Youre using ReadyAPI!, right?

      Doesnt a datasource grid type get you some of the way there? If you want a table of data, a datasource step of grid type may help
