Generic Baseline Test Cases

Generic baseline test cases have a test step that reads from a Large Data data set. The test step is one of the following:

• A step that corresponds to the node that you selected in the path graph
• An Execute Transaction Frame step

If the test case has a step that corresponds to the node that you selected in the path graph, then the data set contains such information as the URL, request body, expected response, and response code.

If the test case has an Execute Transaction Frame step, then the data set contains the agent name, transaction frame, and the expected response.

By default, the data set is local, instead of global.

The test step includes an assertion with the name Assert Response Value Equals. When you run the baseline test case, this assertion verifies that the actual response value matches the expected response value. If the values do not match, then the test generates an error.

To run the test case, do one of the following actions:

• Stage a quick test
• Stage a test case

You can monitor the results in the Consolidated Baseline tab.

Note: For information about how to stage a quick test or a test case, see Running Test Cases and Suites in Using CA Application Test.
