Hi Marc, Thanks for your reply. The bad thing is I'm not quite a programmer.
I stumbled about <scriptStep>. Since I could definitely do it in Perl I tried to use Perl. I inserted the following (presumable non-sense? Where should XML::XPath be derived from? I don't see which Perl will be used. Will it access my local Perl installation via my Perl environment or how does it work?) into a WebTest script: <scriptStep description="calculate..." language="perl"> use XML::XPath; my $xp = XML::XPath->new(filename => 'document'); ... </scriptStep> And got: "Error invoking script: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.bsf.engines.perl.PerlEngine". I checked WebTest/lib and found "ant-apache-bsf-1.7.0.jar", but it doesn't contain "org.apache.bsf" (there is just "org.apache.tools.ant.util"). I use WebTest R_1747.

It will make your code far more readable and you won't be limited by XPath possibilities: <groovy> import com.canoo.webtest.steps.Step class MyTableVerification extends Step { String xpath void doExecute() { def table = context.currentResponse.getFirstByXPath(xpath) ... // your verifications here } } project.addTaskDefinition("myTableVerification", MyTableVerification) </groovy> Usage: <myTableVerification xpath="//path/to/your/table"/> Cheers, Marc. -- Web: http://www.efficient-webtesting.com Blog: http://mguillem.wordpress.com Michael Zwick wrote: > I think, the sum()-function can only by applied to node assemblies.
