Common/Global Tool and script section for SOATest

goofy78270

In expanding test cases, I have found that I use some tools repeatedly throughout various projects/test in SOATest. While there are global datasources, I have not come across a way to implement global tools or scripts.

Some examples of global possible scripts I use today are JWT/JWE extraction and validation, curl creation from request, various field parsers, and test setup and teardown scripts.

Is this something that could possibly be added, if not already in the works?

Would others be interested in such a feature?

There is a global tool in SOAtest. You also can consider using referenced test suites to accomplish the same thing.

While these are at a project level, I was looking for something more cross project like Global Data Sources.

You can use referenced test suites like global data sources. Create a separate project that will contain your set of reusable .tst files. Then reference those .tst files in all the test scenarios that need them in other projects.
