I found the way to do this. In Preferences I found "Default Test Case Options" with "Abort test if an error occurs". This is what I was looking for.
Thanks nmrao for your help.
the answer you link to explains how to change this setting for every testcase. What I would like, is to set the default testcase configuration, so I don't have to manually change this setting for every testcase I make. Is there a way to do that?
I would expect something like that because:
1. the out of the box default makes no sense in testing RESTful API's
2. when adding a new testcase in several ways (like from a operation-request or duplicating an existing request (F9) into a new testcase) only the testcase name is asked, and the testcase is created with these default settings.
I didn't find such setting in Preferences, but perhaps there is a way using some Global Properties or other way to change that?
Hi nmrao,
Thanks for your support. What I do is mostly test GET requests from an already filled database. So there are no setup steps or something like that.
The same would apply to any test of other operations that would not require a second step to validate (like check validation on POST requests).
That means that one request is one testcase, and one testcase is one request (using testcase in ISTQB or TMap terms, not necessarily in ReadyApi terms). What I thus do is use the testcases (in ReadyApi) to bundle related teststeps/testcases.Otherwise there is no use for having testcases, and checking teststep failure would add another step every time (open the case first and then open the request to see what failed).
For example one ReadyApi project would have a test scenario for each operation (like "GET /pet", "GET /store" and "GET /user") and one test case for each feature (testcases like "parameter validation", "authenticate", "filter with fields", "eager loading with expand"). And then each test case would contain several teststeps.
So before submitting a feature request I first wanted to make sure I've not missed a setting somewhere.
