Overriding parameters

By allowing overriding parameters we are able to create a more dynamic way to preform various service calls. For this to be possible to have to define our yaml file. For example we would like to retreve multiple employee information.

t-test

Step	Action	Target	Input	Overrides
GET call from customer api	serviceCall	customer.api.v1.employee.{id}	GET	path::id::{{empId1}}
GET call from customer api	serviceCall	customer.api.v1.employee.{id}	GET	path::id::{{empId2}}

t-dataSheet

Key	Value
empId1	123456
empId2	456789
