Updating a test

Updates a test in ThousandEyes, based on properties provided in the POST data. In order to edit a test, the user attempting the creation must be an Account Admin, and the target test cannot be a live share or saved event.

Regular users are blocked from using any of the POST-based methods.

Note: When creating or updating a test and assigning alert rules, that alert rules are based on specific measurements being available. For example, when creating an HTTP server test with network measurements disabled, you will not be able to assign any alert rules that are based on network metrics. The same applies to BGP measurements.
