Soap UI

                                                             Soap UI

Soap UI is a tool for testing Web Services . It is cross platform tool and build entirely on java platform.

WSDL is Xml document that contains all details about Web Service and all API requests. This is hierarchy we use in Soap UI-- Projects->TestSuite->test case->test step

Once we download the soap UI, we can create new Soap project. Then one Diglog box will open and you have to write the project name and initial WSDL. As I have used CountryInfo Service as a WebService.  For example- Countryinfoservicesoapbinding is the WSDL(Web Services Description Language). We test our API’s like CountryName, CountryCity, CountryISOCode, FullContryInfo and so on. We have request editor and response editor.

After right click on WSDl, go to the option generate Test Suite, you will get a window like style (one test case for each operation, single test case with one request for each operation). You have to choose the style what you want but the best style is single test case with all requests. Give test suite name then it has created a test suite. Test case and test step will be generated .

You can validate your test by putting many assertions as you can. We can run our test case in sequence and parallel . When you are running test suite if a test case is failed then test suite will be fail.

We can create our  API documentation . We can take particular API And it is very handy .

We can create rest API projects as well in Our SoapUI. In Rest API project, the method to add API’ S are the same , we add different Requests and add these requests to the test case by right click on request.

We can add parameters (name,value,style,level) by using request editor. We can run from different levels. In test suite, it run all the test case together. For example, we have to check country name is present or not, for this purpose we add assertions like contains . After adding assertions, it has become a test case.  

Properties -

Properties can be used to store values as a variables that can be referred as testing . Properties can be accessed at following levels:

 Properties can be accessed at following levels:

 Project - ${#Project#PropertyName}

 TestSuite - ${#TestSuite#PropertyName}

TestCase - ${#TestCase#PropertyName}

TestStep - ${TestCaseName#PropertyName}

System - ${#System#PropertyName}

 Env - ${#Env#PropertyName}

Global - ${#Global#PropertyName}

GROOVY Script:

Groovy is a scripting language which internally includes all the Java libraries, therefore all java related keywords and functions can be used in the groovy script directly.

Groovy Script test step is included for custom automation test script creation in SoapUI / Pro. It can be used for functional/ load/regression. 

In SoapUI, we use grovvy gettting and setting property .

It is static and dynamic language with feature similar to python

 Some of the advantages that you will have with groovy:

·       Run any step 5–10 times with programming

·       Read excel files with programming

·       SoapUI free version does not have many features but those can be used with the help of groovy like data driven testing

·       You can write a logic and produce an output and use it as input to a request

·       Assertion can be applied in programming way (if / else)

·       Save logs in your system with groovy logic
