Saving Provider REST Template Test Data

This topic discusses how to:

  • Save test data populated in the REST Tester page tree view

  • Save manually-entered XML test data.

You can save test data for use in subsequent tests in the Provider REST Template utility. You can also use the saved data with other integration testing utilities such as Send Master.

At a later time you can import the data back into the utility for additional testing by uploading the saved file back into the utility.

See Uploading XML from Files to Populate Message Data in the Populating Messages with Test Data topic.

To save test data loaded or entered into the REST Tester page tree view:

  1. On the REST Tester page, click the Convert Tree to XML button.

    The utility converts the data to XML format and displays it in the Input Message box.

  2. Cut and paste the XML into an editor or your choice and save the file.

  3. To return to the tree view, click the New Tree Structure button.

To save manually-entered XML test data, on the REST Tester page, cut and paste the XML located in the Input Message box into an editor of your choice and save the file.
