Script and Response SLA in Ready API

Response SLA Assertion

The job of Response SLA(Service Level Agreement) assertion is to ascertain whether the response comes on time or not. It is not the same as a connection timeout.

• To begin with, ReadyAPI downloads the response.
• After the download, it compares the response time against the SLA.

Availability

This assertion is present in various ReadyAPI applications. It validates the following-

How to Create an Assertion?

Functional Tests 

1. The first step is to open a test step.
2. Click on Add assertion.

Navigate to the New Assertions dialog and search for the Response SLA assertion. You can also select it manually in the SLA category. To set up the assertion, add the maximum expected response time.

Security Tests

1. The first step is to open a security test.
2. Click on Response Assertion.
3. Click + (plus sign).

Navigate to the New Assertions dialog and search for the Response SLA assertion. You can also select it manually in the SLA category. To set up the assertion, add the maximum expected response time.
