Complex service requests or verification points might have empty XML elements that are not needed in a test script. When playing back the test, you can skip such empty XML elements. In ensure that the Display the 'Skip if empty' column in XML tree viewer check box is selected. This option displays a Skip if empty column in the tree view of the request. You can then choose the XML elements to skip.
For an equal verification point, the expected XML data contains the XML document from the response test element. If necessary, you can edit the expected XML data.
You can specify standard Java™ regular expressions in the Tree view. To do this, select the Regular expression column on the line of an attribute or text value and type the regular expression in the Value column. For example, the following regular expression checks for a correctly formatted email address: /^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/
When using regular expressions, the number of XML nodes or XML fragments in the verification point must match the quantity of expected nodes.
