Validate SAP API Responses Using ReadyAPI Assertions
Hi everyone, I’ve been working on API testing for an SAP Cloud integration and recently started using ReadyAPI for response validation. Most of the calls return as expected, but I’m facing issues when the responses contain nested or dynamically changing JSON fields. I tried using Property Transfers and XPath Match assertions, but those tend to break when SAP updates certain fields. I’m exploring if anyone here has implemented Groovy scripts or a smarter validation setup to handle such dynamic structures more reliably. This topic came up while I was preparing for the SAP C_STC_2405 Certification Exam, and I found it really interesting how enterprise API behaviors differ from standard REST setups. While using Pass4Future practice materials, I realized how critical it is to align test automation with real API scenarios. Has anyone here fine-tuned ReadyAPI or TestComplete to handle this kind of SAP data validation effectively? Any insights would be appreciated.

Hello, I'm working on a project in which we're utilising Ruby/Watir with Cucumber and we have a hooks file in which we've defined numerous After hooks in our framework. Now the problem is that there is no execution order set for the after hooks, so the privilege an After hook is taking before all the after hooks is making Bearer token and another after hook code is unable to perform the task it is supposed to do, is there any way to setup the execution order for after hooks like after(option=1) and after(option=0), I saw this options in Java but it does not support in Ruby, thank you.818Views0likes0CommentsAugust 2021 | TestComplete Community News
