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 uses the extracted URL variable.
Validation
The validation section specifies the expected response payload. It checks if the response contains specific strings, such as "<title>Express</title>" and "Welcome to Express". If the response payload does not contain these strings, the validation will fail.
