How to Update Requests

Prerequisites

1. Run the agent

2. Configure the proxy

3. Record request(s)

Why Update Requests?

At some point in time, API providers will change the contract of a request. For example, maybe a component in the request or its response needs to be updated. When this happens we should also update the Stoobly request.

Updating Requests

Before updating a request, it is recommended to create a snapshot in case changes need to be reverted.

There are three main strategies to update request(s):

Editing

• Edit individual requests from the UI

• Edit request snapshots

Replaying

• Replay individual requests
• Replay scenarios

Overwriting

• Ovewriting scenarios

Persisting Changes
