Question

How to get API response XML values in to variables in Jmeter tool? see bold color values. my plan is to assign those variables in to response assertion > 'pattern to test' for match with DB values(using Jmeter variable which comes in JDBC Response).

Answer 1

1. Extract the value from XML using XPath Extractor, the relevant XPath query would be something like //Product/Id/text()

   

2. Once done you will be able to compare 2 JMeter Variables:

   • the one from the XPath Extractor

   • with the one from the JDBC Request sampler

     using Response Assertion configured like:

     • Apply to -> JMeter Variable -> Reference name, used in the XPath Extractor (NB: don't surround the variable with ${}, just put plain text there
     • Pattern Matching Rules: Equals

     • Patterns to Test: variable from the JDBC Request (NB this time you need to surround it with ${}, for example ${ID_1}
