Service Virtualization

I have a requirement like below :

"device": "357752071933886",
"deviceEligiblity": {
"deviceStatus": "Eligible",
}
"device": "357752071934321",
"deviceEligiblity": {
"deviceStatus": "In-Eligible",
}

I have to use the device value from one service response and use it in subsequent test step only if deviceStatus is of value eligible . We can have an assertion to check whether deviceStatus is eligible and then only the filter for taking device value should be used . Not sure how to achieve this . Pls suggest on the solution for this requirement

Hi Rajeswari, 

Thank you for posting on the community page. I see a 'Category' is not chosen. Can you please specify which product you are working with for this question?

There is not enough information for us to provide a concrete example. One thought would be to see if you can use the VSI Operation and Arguments to manage the responses.  

Is the second call to the service performed using a different operation or the same operation?

1st Call:

Operation 1 for Device 357752071933886 responds with Eligible.

Operation 1 for Device 357752071934321 responds with In-Eligible.

OR

Operation 1 response contains both Devices 357752071933886, Eligible and Device 357752071934321 In-Eligible. 

2nd Call:

Consumer App chooses one of the above Device #s and makes a call using Operation 2. (Assumption: the Device # is in the request).

|-- Operation --| --------  Argument  -----------------|

Operation 2, input Device # = 357752071933886, VSI response = response for Eligible data.

Operation 2, input Device # = 357752071934321, VSI response = response for In-Eligible data.

In this example, a given Device # is either eligible or not every time. The approach attaches the desired response to the Device Number. Perhaps, the META transaction always responds with Device = Eligible and specific transactions control or identify only the Devices that are In-Eligible. Additional controls on the actual response could be implemented in the VSI or the VSM.

I would have achieved this by using 'do Nothing Step'. 

Step 1:  You can assert deviceStatus for value 'Eligible'. If true move to Step 2.

Step 2: Do Nothing Step, use a filter to extract device value from the last step response.

   [Hint]: Use lisa.{{lastStepName}}.rsp as the property.

Step 3: Step to use device value.

Let me know if you need more details around it.

Thanks,

Monika

Thanks monika. Below is my requirement :

In the below json response , only when inventoryStatus is InStock , i have to take the SKU value using the filter to the next step . The below structure will repeat in the response . I did not get how the above mentioned steps will work for this scenario. Pls clarify more in detail.

{
"replacementDeviceList": {
"replacementDevice": [
{
"exchangeSKU": "XSAMT923TBLK",
"AStockSKU": "610214642486",

"estimatedShipmentDateTo": "2017-12-06"

},
