    There are probably multiple ways to do this but I would use a Script assertion, something like:

     

    import groovy.util.XmlSlurper
    
    // Get your XML from the appropriate test step response
    def xmlText = '''<response>
        <subscriptions-v1>
            <subscription id="1376" status="1">
                <charging-method>1</charging-method>
            </subscription>
            <subscription id="1372" status="1">
                <charging-method>1</charging-method>
            </subscription>
        </subscriptions-v1>
    </response>'''
    
    def response = new XmlSlurper().parseText(xmlText)
    
    // Normally you don't need quotes when referencing the result of the parse text (a GPathResult object)
    // but in this case we do as the XML element name contains a hyphen (-).
    response.'subscriptions-v1'.children().each{ subscription ->
    
    	//Next three lines just for demo purpose
    	def subscriptionId = subscription.attributes().get('id') 
    	def subscriptionStatus = subscription.attributes().get('status') 
    	log.info('subscription id = ' + subscriptionId + ' has the status = ' + subscriptionStatus)
    
    	// Note: attribute will be a string value, so need to assert againat a string.
    	assert subscription.attributes().get('status') == '1'
    }

     

    More information on the XmlSlurper can be found here.

    You can use the XPath Match assertion to check that there are no subscriptions with status other than 1.

     

    XPath expression: count(//subscription[@status!=1])

    Expected result: 0
