I also encountered such situations. One thing we could do is do compare both the direct response and response through connector with a known value. Example scenario is as follows. -------------------------------------------------
knownValue = "<commentId>"; directApiResponse = callApiDirectly(); connectorResponse = callApiThroughConnector(); boolean condition = directApiResponse.contains(knownValue) && connectorResponse.contains(knownValue); Assert.assertTrue(condition); ------------------------------------------------- So in a situation when we get two values like <comment> <commentId>xxxxxxxxxxxx</commentId> <commentText>hello</commentText> </comment> <comment> <commentId>yyyyyyyyyyyyy</commentId> <commentText>hello</commentText> </comment> we could still be sure that both gave the correct responses because the "knownValue" will only contain in a successful response. if we could log the 2 responses, in an event of test failure, we could determine whether the test failure is actually due to the connector failure or the 3rd party back end API failure. Thanks.
