REST Step

Use the REST step when testing REST applications.

This step is used to send and receive HTTP(S) requests, including GET and POST parameters.

To view parameters, click the Test State button on the right vertical bar. The Test State area slides open. You can dock, pin, and hide the list.

To view the HTTP response, click the Response button.

At the bottom of the Response panel is a selection of filters and an assertion that you can add to the response.

The demo server contains an example of invoking a JSON service to retrieve information from the LISA Bank user database. The URL is http://localhost:8080/rest-example/.

An example test case for the REST step is in the examples project. The name of the test case is rest-example.tst.
