Comparison Component

This is the basic of any logic ✔️

You can see the comparison component in:

• Scenario steps

  • Condition step

  • Search step

• Settings of scheduled scenario start

• Filters, Security Layers in API endpoint settings

• Filters and post-filters in Report settings

Note that there is also a data-type—operator;

Here is a standard Directual comparison component:

The list of operators

There are following operators (lets compare A and B):

Operator	Description	Example
>, <, >=, <=, ==, !=	Standard operators: more; less; more or equal; less or equal; equal; not equal. Compares different data types.	A > B // true for A=5, B = 3; A == B // true for A = 5, B = '5' (A is number, B is string type
in	B is an array and contains A	A in B // true for A = 1, B = 2,3,1,5
equalsDate, equalsDateTime	A is date, B may be string, operator convert it to a date in YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:SS+Z format. equalsDate compares year+month+date. equalsDateTime requires the full conformity.	A equalsDate B // true for A = 2020-04-01T12:00, B = 2020-04-21T21:10
like	String B contains string A, not paying attention to lower case / upper case. Acts as a lightweight RegExp	A like B // true for A = 'hello', B = 'Mike developed: Hello, world!'
regExp	Regular expression, or regExp is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern.	Explore details and examples in RegExp article
isNotNull	Compares A and NULL (empty field)	A isNotNull // false for A = '', true for A = 'hello'
isEmpty	Checks if A is empty	A isEmpty // false for A = 'hello', true for A = ''
arrayContainsAny	A id an Array and B is an array. arrayContainsAnymeans that we can find at least one element of B among elements of A	A arrayContainsAny B // true for A = 1,2,3 and B = 4,3,0,a (3 is a common element)
arrayContainsAll	A id an Array and B is an array. arrayContainsAllmeans that we can find all the elements of B among elements of A	A arrayContainsAny B // true for A = 1,2,3 and B = 2,3 // false for A = 1,2,3 and B = 2,0
