I see two browse options in the data sink step with "excel" file option, 1) File 2) Out file what is the difference between them, please let me know how to write my response to the excel sheet. thanks, karthic

Hi Karthic!

I think that we could make this a lot more easy to understand in soapUI (and I've reported this to the developers).

This TestStep uses File as a template Excel file (may be a blank file) and writes the values of the TestStep Properties to that Excel sheet starting at cell specified in Start at cell. This is all saved as a new Excel file (whose name is specified in Out File).

Just wanted to give you a general tips as well: You can often click on a blue question mark to get to the relevant documentation chapter


Hope this helps!
