Environments in Ready API

Create environment

1. Choose Configure Environments from a drop-down list on the Ready API toolbar to launch the Endpoints & Environments editor:     

1. To add an environment, click + in the editor:

1. Give the new environment a name, then click OK.

1. Add the necessary endpoints, properties, JDBC connections, and JMS servers to the environment.

Configure environment

Choose Configure Environments from a drop-down list on the toolbar to configure environments:       

Using the similar tabs, you can alter the API endpoints, project properties, JDBC connections, and JMS servers for various environments:

SOAP Tab

You can define environment-specific endpoints in the Environments Editor's SOAP tab. During test runs, the environment services will make use of these endpoints

All of the API endpoints that are accessible are listed in a table on the tab. The table's columns are as follows:

🔰 Name -The name of the Endpoint.

🔰 Endpoint - The URL of the Endpoint.

🔰 Authorization Profile- The Endpoint's chosen authorization profile for the environment.

REST Tab

You can define environment-specific endpoints in the Environments Editor's REST tab. During test runs, the environment services will make use of these endpoints.

All the available API endpoints are listed in a table on the REST tab. The table's columns are as follows:

🔰 Name -The name of the Endpoint.

🔰 Endpoint - The URL of the Endpoint.

🔰 Authorization Profile- The Endpoint's chosen authorization profile for the   

     environment.

Kafka Tab

You can define endpoints that are particular to an environment by using the Kafka tab of the Endpoints & Environments editor. During test runs, the environment services will make use of these endpoints.

 

All  the accessible API endpoints are listed in a table on the Kafka tab. The table's columns are as follows:

🔰 Name -The name of the Endpoint.

🔰 Endpoint - The URL of the Endpoint.

🔰 Authorization Profile- The Endpoint's chosen authorization profile for the environment.

Graph QL Tab

You can define environment-specific endpoints in the Endpoints & Environments editor's Graph QL tab. During test runs, the environment services will make use of these endpoints.

All of the accessible API endpoints are listed in a table on the Graph QL tab. The table's columns are as follows:

🔰 Name -The name of the Endpoint.

🔰 Endpoint - The URL of the Endpoint.

🔰 Authorization Profile- The Endpoint's chosen authorization profile for the environment.

Custom Project Properties Tab

You specify values for the custom project properties relevant to the chosen environment on the Custom Project Properties tab.

Double-click the Value cell in the table to edit a value. 

To work with property values 

Use the tab toolbar to clear, load, or save to a file, copy, or move to another environment.

JDBC Tab

You can adapt an existing connection string for various environments by using the JDBC tab of the Endpoints & Environments editor. When you switch between environments. 

Ready API will use the specified connection string.

All the JDBC connections set up in the Database Manager are visible on the JDBC tab. Three columns are in the table:

🔰 Name- The name of the connection.

🔰 Driver – The database driver.

🔰 Connection String – A connection string for the JDBC driver.

JMS Tab

To change JMS connections for various environments

Use the JMS tab of the Environments Editor. When you switch between environments, Ready API will use the designated JMS servers.

All JMS servers set up in the JMS dialogue are visible on the JMS tab. The table's columns are as follows:

Toolbar

To add, remove, modify, or copy environments to another project. use the buttons on the Endpoints & Environments editor toolbar.

Switch between environments

The following command we have to follow to switch between environments

• Activate the drop-down menu on the control bar to:

• Double-click an environment in the Environments editor. & Endpoints.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Ready API used for?

API quality for Agile and DevOps software teams is sped up by Ready API. which enables teams to create, manage, and carry out automated functional, security, and performance tests through a single centralised interface.

What are Environments in Ready API?

An environment in Ready API is a group of settings corresponding to a particular configuration for your tests. A project's unique project properties, database connection settings, authentication profiles for REST, SOAP, and Graph QL services, and JMS server connection parameters are all included in an environment.

What are the major types of assertions available in ready API?

Assertions are validation rules that are used on test results to evaluate the performance of your target web service. Assertions are used in Ready API Test tests to check response codes, response headers, specific values in response bodies, request execution time, and other things.
