Function Name

$random_int(intA, intB)

Function Description

Generates a random number within the range between parameter A and parameter B. CodeArts TestPlan can generate random numbers containing a maximum of 10 digits, that is, the value range is [–9999999999, +9999999999].

Parameters A and B support the following types:

Numbers
Environment parameters
Local parameters
Other built-in functions

Application Scenarios

The function for generating random numbers within a specified range can be used in the following scenarios for API automation:

Request URL
Request header
Request body
Checkpoint property
if condition
for loop interrupt condition

Example

Request URL
As shown in the following figure, the value of test in the request URL is the function for generating random numbers within a specified range. Parameter A in the function is 1, and parameter B is 100.
Request header
As shown in the following figure, the value of number in the request header is the function for generating random numbers within a specified range. Parameter A in the function is 1, and parameter B is 100.
Request body
As shown in the following figure, the request body uses the function for generating random numbers within a specified range. Parameter A in the function is the binary addition operation $add(5,5). Parameter B is the binary multiplication operation $multiply(5,5).
Checkpoint property
As shown in the following figure, the target value of the checkpoint property result is the function for generating random numbers within a specified range. Parameter A in the function is 1, and parameter B is the local parameter test. For details about how to set local parameters, see Local Parameters.
if condition
As shown in the following figure, the target value of the if condition is the function for generating random numbers within a specified range. Parameter A in the function is 1, and parameter B is the environment variable status. For details about how to set environment parameters, see Setting Environment Parameters of an API Script.
for loop interrupt condition
As shown in the following figure, the target value of the for loop interrupt condition is the function for generating random numbers within a specified range. Parameter A in the function is 1, and parameter B is 100.
