How this template works
APIs Selection
The API selection filters in this template specify the criteria for selecting the APIs to be tested. In this case, the filters include the response code range (between 200 and 299) and the extraction of the URL variable.
Execute request
The execute section defines the type of request to be executed. In this template, it is set to "single", indicating that a single request will be made. The request is modified using the "modify_url" action, which likely allows for dynamic modification of the URL based on the extracted URL variable.
Validation
The validation section specifies the validation criteria for the response payload. In this template, the response payload is checked to contain either the string "The install worked successfully! Congratulations!". This ensures that the default homepage is enabled and indicates a potential security risk if found.
