N/A

Resolution

. Using String patterns like {{=[:First Name:]}}, {{=[:LastName:]}}, {{=[:SSN:]}}, {{=[:Street Address:]}},.. This option will create same values if the string pattern is used multiple times.

. Create some random values using Random Code Generator Dataset or Unique Code Generator and use the Data set names in response. This option also will have the same value if the property is used more than once in the VSI response.

. Use {{=%beanshell% com.ca.sv.devtest.util.GenerateString.forRegex("[A-Za-z0-9]{5,15}");}} in VSI response. This option will create dynamic values based on the Regular expression.
