    Well that is tehnically possible using a groovy script but I guess maybe you could do it a little bit differently by restructuring your tests.

     

    What do you mean by 'first message'? Are you using a datasource to loop through your steps? If so, can't you merge the two test cases to have something like:

     

    - loop

    -- send message 1 (old test case 1)

    -- extract whatever data you need

    -- send message 2 (old test case 2)

    - endloop

The exact problem is that I can run each test case separately. What it does now it first sends for example 1000 messages from the first test case then 1000 of the second and so on.

What I would like to have is that it send first message of the first test case then the first message of the second and so on.

 

Is it more clear like this?

    At this moment I use Excel as Data source. I have about 20 different kind of messages with each own data source.

    Also as far as I know I can only use one data source loop for one request or am I wrong with this one.

      Well, yes you can. That's why I don't really get where you're stuck. :D

        Okay I didn't know you can use one data source loop for multiple request.

        I will try that and see if it works as I would want to.

        Thanks for your help.
