    Xpath has to be updated not use position and yet identify uniquely.

Hey aeswaramoorthy,

Is this json or xml?

Im guessing that smart assertions use xpath/jsonpath.

So, if the xpath/jsonpath remains consistent across multiple executions then the smart assertions would work fine.

This is a guess on my part though, so id give it a shot to double check

Nice one

Rich

    Thanks richie

    Its a XML output/response. i too guess its expecting the exact position.

    As you said if its use xpath then always position is expected else it wont work.
