Create assertion 'templates' so you can apply & edit an assertion to multiple test steps
Right now, assertions are individually managed as unique entries on each test step. I can 'clone' an assertion to multiple other test steps/cases/suites, but it is only a copy. If i have an assertion i want to apply multiple places, it would be EXTREMELY helpful to create a template assertion and apply it to all the relevant test steps. This way if i need to modify the assertion across the board, i could update it in one place rather than editing each individual assertion for every. single. test. step.
Smart assertion - Allow updating the Smart Assertion without loosing what is already configured
For the Smart Assertion tool to be useful, it must be possible to update current values without losing what is already configured. Currently if a piece of data changes, you have to reload the whole response, which causes the loss of all the previous configuration. Moreover, this makes cloning completely useless because if we clone a test, the configured Smart Assertion doesn't work anymore. You need to reload everything. When you have a lot of elements in your JSON response, and you assert the values against a data source, it's a lot of wasting time redoing what you have already done previously.
Make Smart Assertion more useful with added features
Smart Assertions are very useful when having lots of data that need to be asserted. However currently there are a few issues that make it more difficult then it needs to be: 1. No Search Facility that allows quickly to jump to an item. 2. No conditional flow where assertions can be managed depending on some response details. 3. No facility to deal with lists that are unsorted and can be in a different order each time. 4. No facility to convert the Smart Assertions to Groovy Script which would make it useful as a tool to get a basic script with all the assertions that can be further edited to deal with special cases. Our responses contain hundreds of pieces of data that need to be evaluated. The Smart Assertions are great for quickly generating the assertions of a response but since we have many lists which don't arrive in a specific order, this does not work very well for us. If the Smart Assertions could recognise lists and pre-order them before assertion this would solve this problem and save us a lot of time. We also have an issue with repeated properties like for example version numbers that we only want to change once and then have it used in many places. However using a property only works as long as the data doesn't change. When data changes and we have to make a "Load from Transaction" again, those properties have to be added again. It would be nice to have something like an "Update from Transaction" that notices changes but doesn't overwrite existing items that haven't changed and preserves the properties being used. A differential dialog might be useful here when updating where we can see the changes, modify them if necessary or have them applied. Another great feature would be a conversion from Smart Asserts to Script. Other test applications that we use for desktop applications already can do this and it would be nice if SmartAPI also would be able to generate a script from the Assertions. This would help with situations where we need to have lots of special flows , loops and transformations of data but don't want to always have to write each assert from scratch.Option to attach test report in JIRA integration
The JIRA integration simplifies the creation of JIRA items (bugs, tasks, etc.) The JIRA integration now supports attaching a ReadyAPI project file or a log file (see picture below). It's quite difficult to add any other information from ReadyAPI, since the JIRA dialogue is a blocking pop up window. I would appreciate an option to attach the test step or test case report, including the request, response, and assertions results. As a tester, I would like to: execute a test step, test case or testsuite once the test is finished, click the JIRA button check include test report and create JIRA item The JIRA item would contain the test report in text format.Custom labels for assertions
The Motivation The Smart assertions are pretty handy as they allow different rules to be set up. There is an option to assign a label, e.g., "Pet tag is present." by right-click on Assertion and selecting "Rename." The proposal Can you please also add the label in the assertion editor (create or edit assertion) so we can set the label straight away when creating the assertion?
Smart Assertion Conditions NOT Matches Regex
List of Smart Assertion Conditions 0. <, > , >= , <= 1. Equals AND Not Equal 3. Equals (one of) AND Not Equal (one of) 5. Exists AND Does NOT Exist 7. Empty AND NOT Empty 9. Contains AND does NOT Contain 11. Matches (regex) AND.... AND..... (!!) And... and..... and....!!! Uh..... what happened to NOT MATCHES (regex) ?!?!Clone Assertions UI needs some love
1) Change the Target Test Case selection from a drop-down single-selection list box to a sub-dialogue that allows multiple Test Cases to be selected and test steps to be selected for each test case. 70% of the time I spend in ReadyAPI is repetitive data entry of cloning assertions one at a time between test cases where the default test case is the one I'm using for the source. 2) Change the default selection of the Assertions from none selected to all selected. No one ever needs none cloned, that's a non-operation.Automatically create testcases/assertions based on swagger definitions
Hi, I believe there should be a feature that uses the Swagger definitions for REST API services much more profoundly. The current "Swagger Compliance Assertion" is not covering this. It's too broad and generic. I would love to have an option to automatically create the standard edge test cases based upon swagger definitions as that would save a lot of time for readyAPI customers. There is a security JSON boundary scan, but that only verifies that there is no sensitive data in the response. It doesn't doe anything with the provided swagger information. There is also no way to see what exactly the boundary scan does, except for going into the transaction log to see each individual request payload (https://support.smartbear.com/readyapi/docs/security/scans/types/boundary-json.html) Suggestion: Button to "Create negative tests from Swagger": - Example1: Automatically a test cases is created with a REST test step where JSON payload or request parameter is set to whatever minLength / maxLength is defined in the swagger. If for instance maxLength is 99 I want ReadyAPI to have a value set to 100 character length. Expected outcome would then be an HTTP400 (customizable with a predefined response payload check). - Example2: Automatically test cases are created where we omit the "required" fields (be that headers, request payload parameters or query parameters). So either it's set to null or it is completely missing from the request. Again expectation would be an HTTP400 or HTTP401/403 for authorization headers.Re-insert the Assertion HTTP
in version 3.9.0 there is a smartAssertion created that deprecates the HTTP assertions. As all of my testcases (a huge amount) have this assertion I'm not going to adapt them manually as this will take a huge effort to do so. No clue why Smartbear has deleted this assertion as I think quasi all of the testers are using this!? Please, re-install the HTTP assertions!
