Soap UI - Lesson3

ANY QUESTIONS??

Introduction to SOAPUI

1

WORKING WITH TEST STEPS

Introduction to SOAPUI

2

Protocol Oriented Test Steps

• SOAP request

• REST request

• JDBC Request

3

Protocol Test Steps

• All of the requests within a Test Suite have to come from the same project

• Requests from different protocols can be loaded into the same project

4

Flow Control-oriented Test Steps

• Properties

• Delay

• Groovy script intro

• Manual

• GoTo

5

Properties

6

Transfer Properties

• Once properties are created, use a transfer properties test step to pass on the information

7

Transfers Dialog

8

Transfer to hand off session id• This property transfer is set up to hand off the

sessionid from the login response to the logout request

•

9

Exercise

• It would be nice to have the application id from the GetAllBibDataInfo request to pass on to the GetApplicationInfo request so let’s add in the application id as a transfer property and add it as another test step in the test case between GetAllBibDataInfo and GetApplicationInfo.

• Then add an assertion on the GetApplication info request to make sure that it is also working correctly. Since Patent Number is one of the fields in the response for the GetApplicationInfo, add an assertion that this matches the original Patent Number input

10

Delay

11

Exercise – Delay Step

• Add in a Delay Step in the previous exercise before the Property Transfer step – this will allow time for the response from GetAllBibDataInfo to be completed before transferring the data to GetApplicantInfo is executed.

12

Manual Test Step

13

Executing w/ a Manual Step

• If you have any manual test steps in your test case/test suite, you will get a dialog pop-up that provides instructions and requests information before moving on to the next test step

14

Exercise – Manual Step• Add a manual step in the previous exercise before

the DataSource Loop with the following actions and expected outcome:

• Action: Get up from your chair and walk one time clockwise around the conference table, returning to your seat.

• Expected outcome: You feel refreshed and ready to take on more challenging exercises.

• Run your test suite, recording the actual results and Pass/Fail status for the manual step

Data-Oriented Test Steps

• Data Source

• Data Source Loop

• Data Sink

• Data Gen

18

Data Sink

• Allows you to parse values from your test and write them to output file

• If you want to use some of the data in the response of a request, start with a valid executed response

19

Setting up Data Sync

20

Sample Template File

• Data Input file with new header for actual results

21

Create File

• If Excel needs to be .xls

22

Create Property for Actual Value

23

Select Element

24

Verify test step order

After Running

25

Data Sink Exercise

• Using the currency conversion project and the previous steps, add a Data Sink to capture the actual results in your test suite

26

Data Gen

27

DataGen Script for Today’s Date

28

${DataGen#today}

Template DataGen

29

Number DataGen

30

List DataGen

31

Mode & Shared

• Mode

– READ pulls a new value every time it is referenced

– STEP pulls a new value every time DataGen is called

– Call DataGen prior to use as in the initial state, the property has no value

• Shared

– For use in load tests – value can be shared across multiple threads

32

Set up REST project

• Can create a REST project by

– Using URI

– Importing WADL

– Discover REST services

33

REST – URI Address

34

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=1600+Amphit

heatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&sensor=false

Project is Set up

35

Can create multiple resources at this level

Request Tab

36

• Includes the fields – you could put in additional fields in this form as well

Parameter Types

37

• QUERY

• TEMPLATE

• HEADER

• MATRIX

• PLAIN

Resource or Method Level

38

QUERY

39

HEADER

40

TEMPLATE

41

MATRIX

42

Exercise

• Building the correct URI

• Create a separate REST project for each of the following URIs and adjust the parameters as needed to build the correct URI:

• http://www.thomas-bayer.com/sqlrest/CUSTOMER/18/ (remember that any number can be used after CUSTOMER)

• http://fqt-tmng-cms.etc.uspto.gov/trademark/cms/rest/metadata/cases/id;sn=76705762

43

REST Uses Path for Resource Names

44

SOAP/REST

• Project

– Service• Resource

– Method

45

• Project

– Interface• Operation

– Request

Note the Method Options

46

Submit the Request

47

Optional parameters

48

• https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p9pdwsai2hDMsLkXsoM05KQ&gid=1

Exercise • Create new project using REST service -

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&sensor=false

– Change xml > json for different format in response

• Create multiple requests with different optional input parameters and different output formats

– Input parameters: language (see previous sheet), region (2 char country code that would be used in url such as ca, gb, gr, jp, etc.)
