Hi Radford
Thanks for your reply.
I have already looked into the Data Driven Testing and I know technically this could do the trick.
The problem is for documentation reasons I need to be able to import these test cases into Silk Central.
As the import template for Silk Central is very basic I don't see a proper way to import such a complex data driven test into it.
Therefore I need seperate test cases for each and every label I am afraid.
Cheers

I think that possibly you may be able to craft a solution in Groovy script to do what you want, the JavaDocs can be found here. Though to be honest, it does sound very complex, not something I would want to attempt.
When you say you need to "import these test cases" do you mean you need to import the entire ReadyAPI test case project file, or just the request and response of your REST service being tested?

Hi Radford
I guess somehow it will be possible, but the problem is I am not a skilled coder
and my working schedule does not leave much time to really dig deep into coding.
We need an easy to use and very flexible solution as our environment is highly dynamic and very complex.
That is the reason why I am looking into automation, but it might turn out that this is not a feasible way for us.
Regarding the import we would primarily need that for documentation purposes so it is not needed to have the whole project imported into Silk Central.
I guess we could live with importing the testcases and there is an option to import reports as well, but I have not yet looked into that.
I need to make the best use of the trial period to figure out if the pro version would give us enough benefits over the open source version. When it turns out that we still need to do a lot of Groovy and other programming then we could as well stick with the open source version or we might need to look elsewhere.
In the meantime I got a statement from one of the SmartBear engineers that the feature I am looking for is not there at least not out of the box in an easy to use way.
So I might end up with a home-tailored solution or I need to look somewhere else.
Cheers

Hi Enzo,
this sounds like a good idea.
I recommend you add a Feature suggestion here: http://community.smartbear.com/t5/Ready-API-Feature-Requests/idb-p/ReadyAPIFeatureRequests
