Getting Started Guide

When installed, the plugin gives the following functionality:

  1. During recording, the Web Service Recorder Plugin is made available. All this does, is after recording, a reference will be added to your project for the Webservice Plugin Runtime, and the Web Test Plugin will be added to your webtest.
  2. A new Tab is available in the Web Test Results Viewer for each step/request in the test log. The WebService tab shows the XML data and a Tree view of JSON/MSBIN/XML data for both the request, and the response, if the data is of the corresponding and matching Content-Type.
  3. A new Web Service request body editor is available, for editing the data in XML or a Tree View, if the data for the body is of the corresponding and matching Content-Type.
  4. In both Tree Views (Request Body Editor and the Web Test Results Viewer) a context menu is available that lets the user replace data in requests with parameters, or create Validation and Extraction rules in responses.
  5. XPath Validation and Extraction rules for Web Tests
  6. XPath tester in the Web Test Results Viewer to test what and how many matches in a Test Run Result Response
