Thank you in Advance.

Hi Rahul,

There are various ways you can do this. Ultimately it really comes down to xpath expressions, which can be managed in your Axe object map.

For a quick and simple solution, the default Axe Action Map provides a get(instance) action for output fields (WsOutParameter) in a soap response. This means that in you Axe tests, where you have I assume, objects mapped for Key and Description you can just use get(1), get(2), get(3) etc to retrieve each instance and validate them.

See the AxeHarness section of the Axe Help for more details.

Thanks Sam for quick reply.

But the size of array varies when we change the request. so how can I handle that situation??

What will be in the Object map??

Hi Rahul,

Surely you will need to be able to predict the length of the output for each test case? i.e. for any given call to the website with a set of data, you tests should know how many elements to expect in the response.

For the solution I proposed above you can use you current object map entries. But they are just xpath - so you can use any valid xpath expression to retrieve the nodes.
