Tips and tricks

Query parameters

Query parameters support special mini-language. Currently it is possible to provide either plain value by simply typing it in the field, or a random value, typing {random} special form:

{random:7:d}
{random:8:7}
{random:140}

The special form syntax is: {random:length:symbols}, where length is an integer and symbols is one of:

• d for digits
• l for lowercase letters
• L for uppercase letters
• symbols might be ommited to use digits and letters

Assertions

Assertion expressions have a syntax to do response fields querying. Let's shoot examples along with explanation.

Status code of last query:

.status_code

Take first query, its parsed json body, second array index, text property:

0.json.1.text
