Try to be as direct and detailed as you can. Here are a few example requests that should produce good results:
- Tell me how to setup data learning to virtualize my service. Use simple bullet points.
- Is there a tool that can send messages at a delayed time after a virtual asset has submitted a response?
- How can I configure my server to enhance performance?
If you don't get exactly the information you were looking for, make follow-up requests. Continued interaction with the AI Assistant, in effect, forms a conversation and subsequent questions are treated as being related to those that came before. This can influence the answers that are provided. You can start a new conversation by clicking clicking Clear.

You can use the AI Assistant to help you create tests in SOAtest. Just ask it for help creating a test and provide it with a URL to a RESTful service definition that you want to create a test for. It will analyze the service definition and suggest possible scenarios. You can choose one of its suggestions or describe the scenario you want to test yourself. For example, you might ask the AI Assistant:
| Panel |
|---|
Create a test scenario from definition:
https://parabank.parasoft.com/parabank/services/bank/openapi.yaml
Test scenario steps:
Log in, get customer accounts, create account, deposit funds, get account |
The AI Assistant will ask where you want to save the test and create it for you, including a scenario with related steps and populated payload data.
Notes:
- The AI Assistant can create a data source for you as part of test creation. Mention "data source" in your conversation to ensure that it knows that you want a data source.
- The AI Assistant can parameterize applicable portions of the test for you as part of test creation. It will most likely not suggest parameterization on its own. If you want its assistance with this, ask it to help with parameterization and be specific about what should be parameterized.

You can use the AI Assistant to create data sources. Data sources are automatically created as CSV file data sources and can be created independently or as part of the test the AI Assistant is helping you create. The AI Assistant will populate the data for you with fictional but realistic values and present them to you for your review and approval. If you are creating a data source that is not part of a test, it will ask you where to save the data sourcecan also help you create tests and data sources.
