Specifying request, response, and exception variables

In the Test Cases page of the test suite editor, you can specify a request, response, or exception variable for an invocation selected in the Test Cases area. The value that is used for a request, response, or exception variable is whatever value is specified for the variable in the test data table.

To specify a request, response, or exception variable:
