Parameter Finder finds possible missing parameters and directs which extractors should be created to feed into these parameters. You need to run Parameter Finder only if test case verification created any diagnostic errors or warnings in the Session Verification tree.


1. Click Run Parameter Finder.

2. After Parameter Finder completes execution, it generates the Parameter Finder Tree, which displays suggested missing objects. The Parameter Finder Tree has two views.

a. In the Group by Extractors view:

        • Each parent node represents a recommended extractor with an indication to which prior request it should be created from.
        • Each child node represents a request with the missing parameter's name along with the recorded value that should be parameterized.

b. In the Group by Requests view:

        • Each parent node represents a request that likely requires parameterization.
        • Each child node represents a pair of:
        1. The missing parameter's name, along with the recorded value that should be parameterized.
        2. The recommended extractor with an indication to which prior response it should be created from

To switch between two views, use the Click To Group By button (c).

Tips:

  • To copy the selected object content, hit (Ctrl+C).
  • To find and highlight an object selected on the Parameter Finder Tree on the Test Case Tree, double-click the object or right-click and select Highlight.

Note: Parameter Finder inspects a test case and the result of the Verify process, so you must run Verify before running parameter Finder for the first time. To determine if all missing objects are created after adding or removing extractors and parameters, rerun Parameter Finder. After that, rerun Verify to determine if added parameterization fixed all test errors.
