Yes it is possible to do so with the help of scripting.

If you provide more details, that would be helpful.

Hey Rao,

 

 I have a GET function to count all active accounts of my login webservice. I want to build a check that checks the amount of accounts after a new account has been added. So I want it to validate a +1 scenario after the POST function has been successfully completed. For now I have a contains assertion in place with RegEx \d+ so I can atleast check if I am getting a number back. The response is in JSON btw.

 

Another problem I am facing is with a conditional goto. I have a connection check in place to validate access to the webservice. When it returns 'true', the testrun should continue. I do not want it to hog resources running the full script when the first step fails.

 

As you can see I am still missing some fundamental knowledge of scripting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
