How this template works
APIs Selection
The template uses API selection filters to specify the criteria for selecting the API endpoints to be tested. It filters the endpoints based on the response code (between 200 and 299), the HTTP method (PUT, POST, or PATCH), and the presence of the "role" key in the response payload.
Execute request
The template executes a single request by adding a body parameter with the key and value extracted from the response payload. The key is extracted using the "role" key from the response payload, and the value is extracted using the "role_context" key from the param context.
Validation
The template validates the response by checking if the response code is between 200 and 299 and if the response payload contains the extracted "role" key with the corresponding value extracted from the param context.
