Test Instances can be accessed and modified through this API using four services: GET, POST, PUT, and PATCH. These four services allow for the retrieval, creation, complete update, and partial update of test instances.

Authentication - Use Basic Authentication for this API.

GET

There are two implementations of GET. One will find a test instance with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the test instance. The other will find a list of test instances matching the parameters supplied to it.

GET (Using Id)

This GET service will find an test instance with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the object.

Response Codes

HTTP Code
Description

400Bad request
401Unauthorized
500Unexpected internal server error

Example

If we had a test instance in our database with an Id of 11101 and had the following attributes

Test Instance - 11101
{
   "isActive": true,
	"properties":    [
            {
         "propertyName": "FDJM_JMETER_HOME_DIR",
         "propertyValue": "Home Directory Patch 1"
      },
            {
         "propertyName": "FDJM_JMETER_PROPERTIES_FILE",
         "propertyValue": "Properties Patch 1"
      }
   ],
   "description": "This is Test Instance 1",

   "instanceCode": "TESTINST1",
   "instanceId": 11101,
   "environments": [],
   "testingToolId": 10001
}
}

When we run a GET request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/integrations/testinstance/11101

The GET request would return the  following JSON test instance object

Test Instance GET Return JSON
{
   "isActive": true,
	"properties":    [
            {
         "propertyName": "FDJM_JMETER_HOME_DIR",

      }
   ],

   "instanceCode": "TESTINST1",
   "instanceId": 11101,
   "environments": [],
   "testingToolId": 10001
}
}

GET (Using Query Parameters)

This GET service will find an test instance by querying based on a code, name, and/or tool name and return the JSON representations of the objects. If no query parameters are given this request will return the entire list of test instances.

API URLs

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/integrations/testinstance?

Append the following character sequences to the above URL to specify Query parameters.
Use '&' between successive query parameters: 

instanceCode={code}

instanceName={name}

testingTool={tool}

Examples:

To search by code only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/integrations/testinstance?instanceCode={code}

To search by name only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/integrations/testinstance?instanceName={name}

To search by tool and name:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/testinstance?testingTool={tool}&instanceName={name}

The query parameters are not case sensitive. Searching by instanceCode=instanceCode is the same as searching by instanceCode=INSTANCECODE.
