Get the route value from url in webapi attribute routing

I have a webAPI controller which is like

Public class TestController:APIController
{ 


   [Route(“Api/Test/{testId}/SubTest”)] 
     Public  void Post(int subTestid)
     {
     }

}

Our requirement is to get the value of testId from the url inside the post method. Could anyone suggest the best way to achieve this.

Looking at this link: http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/web-api-routing-and-actions/attribute-routing-in-web-api-2

The string "customers/{customerId}/orders" is the URI template for the route. Web API tries to match the request URI to the template. In this example, "customers" and "orders" are literal segments, and "{customerId}" is a variable parameter.

public class OrdersController : ApiController
{
    [Route("customers/{customerId}/orders")]
    [HttpGet]
    public IEnumerable<Order> FindOrdersByCustomer(int customerId) { ... }
}

It seems that you need to change subTestid to testId so it will be a match.
