Managing Test Data Queues in Orchestrator

Overview

Manage test data queues and queue items in Orchestrator. Newly created test data queues are empty but you can upload queue items based on your defined JSON schema, either directly in Orchestrator, or through Studio.

JSON Schema Definition

To create a test data queue, you need to define a JSON schema that formats the data properly. This will support uploading items to your test data queue, where the columns are the first level properties of the JSON content, as defined by your schema.

The following JSON schema example contains a root schema.

{
    "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema",
    "$id": "http://example.com/example.json",
    "type": "object",
    "title": "The root schema",
    "description": "The root schema comprises the entire JSON document.",
    "default": {},
    "examples": [
        {
            "id": 1,
            "first_name": "John",
            "last_name": "doe",
            "email": "[e-mail]",
            "gender": "male",
            "ip_address": "148.38.201.83",
            "skills": "UHV"
        }
    ],
    "required": [
        "id",
        "first_name",
        "last_name",
        "email",
        "gender",
        "ip_address",
        "skills"
    ],
    "properties": {
        "id": {
            "$id": "#/properties/id",
            "type": "integer",
            "title": "The id schema",
            "description": "An explanation about the purpose of this instance.",

            "examples": [
                1
            ]
        },

            "examples": [
