Where are test scenario instances?

1

Hello! We would like to batch test our test scenarios on different environments. However on the batch test screen where you can select the scenarios there is no way to change the environment. The documentation suggests to create scenario instances with the correct environment settings, and then you can use those in the batch run.
However we have no option in the test scenario editing to save it as an instance. There is smply no such button and option which the documentation suggests.

We are using the latest desktop version Apidog 2.5.0
Are we missing something?

This is what we see in the tool:

This feature is deprecated in recent version because it appears no one is using it…

ohh, then how can we execute the same scenarios on different environments?

4

also: the documentation needs ot be updated :wink:

Right now there is no good way to achieve this. Maybe you need to duplicate your scenario.

7

Yes it should be updated

8

ohh that’s really bad…we have hundreds of scenarios

Let me discuss with my workmates

thanks! :slightly_smiling_face:

the use case is the following:
Our APIs have to pass testing on a number of environments before they are released to the final PROD environment.
Thus we first test them on DEV, then they get deployed to INT, tested again, then to TP, tested there as well, and finally to PROD.
We want to run the same test scenarios on each environment.
PS: In postman this was solved by a simple environment selector when you did a batch run, which applied the same environemnt to all tests sleceted for that run.

12

But in your scenario, it seems you need the tests run in different environments?

13

yes but it’s exactly the same test, just the environment is different

14

How do you solve this in postman?

15

in postman you do not define the environment for each test scenario separately. there is a global switch on top right which sets the environment.

16

and that setting is applied to all requests included in the batch run

17

however here, if you do a batch run

18

it will take the environment setting which is set for each and every test scenario

and there is no way of changing it in bulk before the batch run
