Hi,
I have a request called “GetUserInfo”. I have a test case called “GetUserInfo” which calls this request “GetUserInfo”. (Everything works)
Now I have another testcase called “TestTest”, in this test case I want to call the test case “GetUserInfo”.
Question 1 - what’s the difference between the following two methods, what’s the best approach?
- From the “TestTest” calling a test case using callTestCase method which calls the testcase “GetUserInfo”, which in turn sends the request using sendRequestAndVerify?
- From the “TestTest” calling the request directly by sending the sendRequestAndVerify.
WS.callTestCase(findTestCase(“GetUseInfo”), [“UserId”: data.get(‘UserId’), “Name”:data.get(“Name”)], FailureHandling.OPTIONAL)
WS.sendRequestAndVerify(findTestObject(‘SoapBinding/GetUserInfo’, [(‘UserId’) : data.get(‘UserId’), (‘Name’) : data.get(‘Name’)]))
Question 2:
Can we call a testcase using WS.callTestCase without sending the parameters, why doesn’t this call use the parameters that are
defined in the testcaseID?
Thanks in advance
Answer 1: If your test case “getUserInfo” has no other processing, then of course use sendRequestAndVerify directly.
If you want to use it for other processing, use callTestCase, for example
SendRequest returns a JSON format, and if you want to change it to a Map, but you don’t want to convert it every time, you can change it to a Map in your TestCase and Return it, so you don’t have to do this every time you call TestCase
Answer 2: yes, of course, if you have an argument and you define a default value, not passing the argument means using the default value

Thank you for your response. So you are right I was able to run callTestCase without the parameters. I have few more questions.
-
Is it true, that the sendRequestAndVerify will return a response back but the callTestCase will not return the response back? If yes, is there a way we can have callTestCase return the response?
-
Can we call for a testcase with all the default values except maybe one new value? Is that allowed? For example in default value UserId = 120 and now I want to run the test with same data except UserId=122.
WS.callTestCase(findTestCase(“GetUseInfo”), [“UserId”: “122”], FailureHandling.OPTIONAL)
Thanks
