Execution order of Scripts
The sequence is Pre-request Script, Request, and then Tests. This order ensures that any necessary modifications to the request are made before it is sent, and validations are performed after receiving the response.
1. Pre-request Script: This script runs before the actual request is sent. It allows you to modify the request before it is sent, such as setting variables or headers.
2. Request: The actual HTTP request is executed.
3. Tests: After the request is sent and a response is received, the test script is executed. This script is used to validate the response, perform assertions, and capture data for future requests.
