Set variable for different test services
Hi All,
We have a test suite set up for a service that we have tested with. We now need a new service where we need to apply the same tests. The question is, is there a way to set variables for all the places in ReadyAPI where there would be difference between one service and another in the pre-existing test suite? Instead of needing to manually change all the differences in the new test suite?
Hi readybear,
There is no special functionality in ReadyAPI to accomplish your task, but I suggest that you play with the updating/refactoring definition feature of the tool.
The updating/refactoring definition dialogs are designed to keep your service up-to-date without recreating the project. If your old and new services have a more or less similar structure, you can try to update/refactor the old definition with the new one by providing the update/refactor options and remapping the bindings as you need. At that, the current tests will be updated with the new methods, paths, parameters automatically; the endpoints are required to be changed manually. Please refer to the following help section for details:

Please make sure to back up your current project file before proceeding with the updating/refactoring procedure - just to be safe.
