Lesson 2.1: Enabling verification points

In this lesson, learn how to add verification points to check whether an expected behavior occurs during a run.

About this task

With verification points, you can test the behavior of the service during a test. For example, you can use verification points to ensure that a particular response contains the expected XML content or that a specific binary attachment is returned.

Each verification point returns a Pass, Fail or Inconclusive verdict in the test log. You can view a summary of verification point verdicts in the verification point report after running the test.
