Given response is different each time you will not be able to check the exact name and price of the product, however you will be able to check if:

  • response matches a certain XSD schema (contains elements which it needs to contain and doesn't contain any extra stuff, data types are matching, number and order of elements, etc. It can be done using XML Schema Assertion

  • response contains the following tags:

    • //Product/Name
    • //Product/Price

also there are numerous options like checking the number of occurrences, checking response is not null, price is above zero, etc. It can be done using XPath Assertion
