Using a variable in an XML request Hi all, I have set up a test case that has 3 test steps: 1. A script that creates a variable which is UUID, variable name "uuid" 2. A script that created a variable which is a unique email address, variable name "email" 3. An XML soap request that i would like to send that includes a variable referenced in step 1 and step 2 I reference the variable like this "${uuid}" or "${email}" in the XML request. eg: <ord:ClientOrderIdentifier>${uuid}</ord:ClientOrderIdentifier> The problem is when i run my test case the XML request is not getting updated with the variables i have created in the previous steps. I think the problem is down to my misunderstanding TBH, how can i construct my test so it does work in the way i would like? I have attached a screenshot to show what this looks like in soap. Any help would be much appreciated. SolvedRe: Not contains assertion Thanks for the reply fazlook. Yes, on my windows VM i can see it but on my installation on my mac if i click to see the left hand pane to select the group of assertion types it does not change my view in the right hand pane. I think it might be a problem with my installation, i will re-install and try again. Not contains assertion Hi There, I can't seem to see in the add assertion UI the option to choose "Not Contains". I am using the free version os SOAPUI on a mac, version number is 5.3.0. Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks Julian
