Hi, just a suggestion. I really like the fact that you can drive the tests from a CSV but given the fact that the client is often consuming JSON wouldn't it make more sense if you could actually drive the tests using JSON data. That way I can make a restful API call from our web site and drive the test using the JSON result set. If I could do that I would be a happy man indeed.

Hi John,

Where do you envision would be the data source for this JSON data? A file? A Web-service or something else? I have created a new Feature Request here. If you have anything else you would like added let me know and I'll update the description.

The data source could be a Restful web service. Currently what we have is an Asp .Net MVC solution, however much of the front end is driven by jQuery calling asyncronously to a controller on the server to get data for display purposes, i.e. graphs and charts. If you could drive the front end tests via a call to a controller that returns a JSON result set then that might be easier to work with.

Hi John,

It sounds like the key here is to enable the data source of a data driven test to be a web service instead of a file or a SQL database. I have updated the FR with this idea.
