How can I programmatically Fail a WebTest?

• Ibrahim Dwaikat

  The best way is to write a custom validation rule. Public properties in your rule are exposed in the property grid, so you can add properties for the header name and expected value. Then use the
  
  

  e.Response.Headers[m_header]

  header collection to check for the value at runtime in the Validate method of the rule.
  
  Good luck!

  Great response!  Your recommendation was dead on.  Here is the code snippet used in Validate() for anyone else needing to validate response header values:
  

  for(int i = 0; i < e.Response.Headers.Keys.Count; ++i)

  {

    if (e.Response.Headers.GetKey(i) == HeaderStringParameterName)

    {

      string strVal = e.Response.Headers.Get(HeaderStringParameterName);

      if (strVal == HeaderStringParameterExpectedValue)

      {

        e.IsValid = true;

        e.Message = "Found";

        break;

      }

    }

  }
