Azure Service Bus is a test that will inject the message to the Microsoft Azure Service Bus queue. It will perform validation of the middleware platform outbound message as well as validate database entries created by the message processing in the backend ABAP based system.
Payload for this test type has to be manually provided in the APITester Cockpit.

...

Variables are the container for values that can be used during testing. Each variable contains two values, the one that is calculated based on the reference message/document and the one that is calculated ad-hoc during test case execution.

Link to be added

Create button allows variable creation.

Scope

Scope determines the processing of procedures that generate unique values like, e.g., GUID or NUM_RANGE.

  • Test Case Scope - variable is replaced with new values considering values from the currently processed test case. The variable value, which occurs multiple times in the test case payload, is replaced with the same new value. The variable value in different test cases from the currently processed test run is replaced with a new value for each test case.

  • Test Run - variable is replaced with new values considering values from the currently processed test run. The variable value in different test cases from the currently processed test run is replaced with the same new value.

Parameter name

Description

Example

Description

Free text for the exception rule

Field1

Expression Type

Expression type. Available options:

  • unspecified

  • XPath

  • Flat expression

This field is optional for all interfaces where there is a single type of output. However, for interfaces that output might be both XML and flat file, it is mandatory to specify the expression type.

XPath

Expression

Path pointing to the field/node where the exception should be applied.

//ORDER/DATE/text()  (XPATH expression) or

START_TAG(BGM+220+)&&END_TAG(+)&& (Flat file expression) or

$.order.date (JSONPath expression)

REGEX(BGM\+220\+(.*)\+) (REGEX expression)

Rule

Rule to be applied to the field.

 

Warning

Marks the compared fields with yellow color as a "warning".

 

  • Warning when different based on variable replacement

In case compared values are different Int4 Suite compares them with specified variable. If reference/current value pair from comparison matches variable values result is marked as "warning".

Variable name used for checking the values has to be specified in the Processing Parameter column.

 

  • Warning when different based on value mapping object

In case compared values are different Int4 Suite compares them with specified values in the Mapping Object. If reference/current value pair from comparison matches mapping values result is marked as "warning".

Mapping Object name used for checking the values has to be specified in the Processing Parameter column.

 

  • Ignore

Even if it is different in the content, it is not highlighted.

 

Parameter

Used in correlation with Warning Rules.

 

Execution Settings

Parameter name

Description

Example

Debug Log

Int4 Suite will provide additional, more technical information in Test Execution Report during the running of the test cases if this parameter is set. Therefore, it is recommended to set this option initially and deactivate it when object definition is confirmed after executing the first test cases

 

Display wait popup before validation

Wait Flag indicating if Int4 Suite should stop test case execution after sending test case message to middleware. Int4 Suite will show the confirmation box, and the user will decide to continue. This setting can execute manual follow-up actions before running the next test case or checking the validations.

This setup works only with Execute via SAP GUI option of execution
