HTTP Teststep assertion list

Testing webservices can become repetitive and cumbersome. Assertions help you to automate checks and free you from repetitive error-prone verifications. You will find more time to further explore responses and find unexpected behaviour.

Assertions have their own tab in the HTTP Request view and allow you for editing assertions while viewing the Response.
