    Instead, you could replace the whole request instead of editing the nodes.

    May be store the exact request xmls into file per test and specify those file names in your excel data.
    While processing the datasource, read column value which is xml request file name, read that file and replace the request - which is more simple than what you are trying to do.

How your test is designed? A screen shot please?
Is it using data-driven approach? If so, how the data is stored which(test request) needs to be updated during runtime?

    Hi,

    I am using data-driven approach to drive my test. My data is stored in excel file. I am using excel columns to pass data for different scenarios.

     

    As per my requirement, if I am encountering any perticular set of data then some nodes should be added to my soap request. Then after my scenario is run, I should remove my added nodes and move on to nxt scenario.

     

    Thanks,

    Sumit M
