  Hi

  I am very new to ZAP test, I’m carrying out some API testing, My server response has two parameters which I can quite happily add to my check list, however is it possible to check a subset of the returned parameters

  eg Returned Message
  standard”:”AAAA BBBB CCCCC”,” status”:200}

  Where I should like to only test a portion of the returned message AAAA or BBBB etc

  Secondly when things get a little more complicated how do I check when multiple items are returned and check against them, I guess I need to amend my path ?

  Hello Alan!

  1. If you would like to check the only portion of your returned data, you could use a regular expression there, but to enable them you should update object properly value: “Use RExpseg” -> True. Then you could set checklist value as “AAA”, “BBB” or use any other valid regular expression.

  2. Yes, you should use multiple items in your checklist. We could access any member of the complex object by path, where for arrays we should use the brackets “[0]”, example: “Data[0].Name”

  PS. Also, you could use helper object methods to get all or part data and do all check in the script (for advanced case): see .GetMemberResponse method
  PPS. If you get any troubles with paths, please let us know.

  Let us know if you still have any questions.

  Thank you,
