Firstly, I confess that, I am quite new to using Ready API..
nmrao: Below are the answers to your questions
1. Its a for loop which will loop the testcase for the number of times its name appears in the test data (excel)
2. TestCase structure is not the same across test cases.. But, it will have a combination of Rest Request calls and Groovy scripts
3. I just want to trigger the tear down script so as to avoid soap ui test runner to execute the test case
4. Its part of the framework which is in place, so I can't really modify the way the test cases are being executed..
Lets say in soap ui, I have a project, with a test suite which has 3 test cases. Each case has some 5 steps (say 2 groovy steps and 3 rest request steps)..
ProjectA
--> TestSuiteA
--> TestCase1
--> GroovyStep1
--> RestRequestStep1
--> RestRequestStep2
--> RestRequestStep3
--> GroovyStep2
--> TestCase2
--> GroovyStep1
--> RestRequestStep1
--> RestRequestStep2
--> RestRequestStep3
--> GroovyStep2
--> TestCase3
--> GroovyStep1
--> RestRequestStep1
--> RestRequestStep2
--> RestRequestStep3
--> GroovyStep2
With the above setup, I have an excel sheet which has 15 rows of data, 5 for each TestCase.. In this case, how can I execute the cases with all the different sets of test data from the test case itself (considering, I am not using the setup script way, that we currently have) ?
