Using null and exclude
Parasoft's Service Virtualization and API Testing use two special values: null and exclude. TDM displays these values as follows:
- If a primitive field was configured to be set to null/exclude, it is represented as [null]/[exclude]. For example, see
Age
in the screenshot below. - If a primitive list field is set to null/exclude, it is presented as an array of one item with the value [null]/[exclude]. For example, see
Aliases
in the screenshot below. - If a record list field is set to null/exclude, it is presented as an array of one item with the value [null record]/[exclude record] (to distinguish it from a null/exclude primitive list). For example, see
Child
in the screenshot below.
If you want to set a field to null or exclude (so it will not appear in the message when an element is populated from this data source), use [null] or [exclude] while editing.
Editing Data
You can edit:
- Data key values in the table
- Primitive values in the JSON view editor.
Click Edit to make values editable, then click Save when you're done editing.
