Work with API TestCases

You can generate API TestCases when you create messages with Tricentis Tosca API Scan and export them to Tosca Commander. For more information on how to do so, see chapter "Create TestCases with API Scan".

API Engine TestCase folders contain the following elements:

Icon	Name	Description
	TestCase	API TestCase
	XTestStep	API TestCases consist of two types of XTestSteps: request messages response messages
	generated XTestStepValues	Module Attributes to be steered.
	initial XTestStepValues	Module Attributes that are set, but not used in a message.

Execute TestCases

When executing TestCases, the Tosca API Engine does the following:

• it modifies the request according to the respective Module Attributes

• it sends the request to the webservice

• it transfers the values from the webservice response to the Module Attributes in the response message

Convert a TestCase into an OSV Scenario

You can convert existing API TestCases into OSV Scenarios to run them in an OSV environment.

To convert your TestCase, follow the steps below:

1. In Tosca Commander, select one or more TestCases.

2. In the dynamic menu OSV, click the Convert to Scenario icon.

The system then creates a Convert API to OSV ComponentFolder including the following elements:

• OSV Modules including all Module Attributes that were defined in the API Module

• OSV Scenarios including initial and generated XTestStepValues
