    Multiple Return Values from an API Request


    Article summary

    Handling multiple return values from an API request is a sophisticated and highly valuable aspect of API testing. Quality Modeller offers comprehensive support for this advanced use case, empowering you to extract diverse types of data from API responses. This includes, but is not limited to, cookies, payloads, headers, and other relevant metadata, each playing a unique role in your testing models.

    The ability to extract and work with multiple parts of the API response enhances the depth and versatility of your tests. For instance, you can retrieve and validate header information to verify the correct content type, or extract specific payload data to ensure the API is returning the expected information. Similarly, capturing cookies from an API response enables the simulation of complex user sessions, whereas extracting status codes allows you to assert on successful or failed requests. This multifaceted extraction ability offered by Quality Modeller allows you to construct a more comprehensive and accurate representation of your API's behaviour and response patterns. By extracting and harnessing multiple return values, your testing models become more robust, versatile, and indicative of real-world scenarios, thus leading to more reliable and insightful test outcomes.
