how to increment date for each test run

Hi Preeti,

I couldn't understand your use cases. How do you want to proceed after the date increment. This is what you can try. Download joda-time and put inside home/SmartBear/bin/ext folder. Restart ReadyAPI and then use this code:-

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.swing.text.html.HTML.Tag;
import org.joda.time.DateTime;
import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import org.joda.time.format.ISODateTimeFormat;

/*First figure out how many times you need to execute this. I have taken count as 5. 
		You can set limit of the date creation based on the flag a/c to your choice.
		This will generate the date for next 5 days.*/
		for(int i=0; i<5; i++) {
		DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
	    Date date = new Date();    
	    DateTimeFormatter parser = ISODateTimeFormat.date();
	    DateTime dt = parser.parseDateTime(dateFormat.format(date));
	    String nextDay = parser.print(dt.plusDays(i));
	    System.out.println(nextDay);
           //Store nextDay to testCase Property.
	    testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("Date", nextDay);
           //Now in XML pass "Date" inside this tag - <Value>${#TestCase#Date}</value>
	   //Then run the XML file, to generate the response based on the "Date" you provided in <Value> Tag. 
	    def tCase = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.testCases["Your testCase Name"]
	    def tStep = tCase.testSteps["Your testStep name"]
	    tStep.run(testRunner, context)
		}

Just try once, and let me know, if you face any issue.
