Functional Web Services Testing Made Easy with SoapUI - Part 2

Thanks for the great article, Meera! I had figured out the basics of soapUI for testing simple requests, but I needed a way to propagate a larger number of test cases with various combinations of optional reqeust elements. Following you example I now have the tools I need to get moving. I also feel motivated to learn more about Groovy. Thanks again!

hi,

one question, is it possible to pass the responce from one test case to another test case. What i'm trying to do is to get a session id and then use that session id to run a load test.

Thx.

Hi Meera Can I write tests within SOAP UI and invoke it in a seperate Java program ? Also I need to parse the result in this Java code. Thanks Shanthi

After seeing into ur article I whould like to know how can i obtain session ID to logout automatically when I login and logout of the webapplicaiton.

Hi Meera,

How could I change the project properties, test suite properties or testcase properties values using Groovy script test step. I wasn't able to understand the syntax.

def sessionID = context.expand( '${#Project#SessionID}' )
def testSuiteProperty = context.expand( '${#TestSuite#TestSuiteProperty}' )
def test1 = context.expand('${#TestCase#test}' )

I understood the above lines collect the values of the given properties. Please help me to set the value for  SessionID, TestSuiteProperty, test parameters. Thanks in advance.

 

 

Hi,

I am trying to get the Node Value but I get it as Null

IST 2009:INFO:null

This is the Script I am running groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context ) holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("GetData - Request 1#Response") dwmlByDayOut = holder.getNodeValue( "//GetDataResponse" )

Below are the Request Iam sending and the response I get

${Properties#Addvalue}

This is my response

You entered: 500

I am glad this article helped. Yes, there are nike shoes russia numerous ways you can use Groovy, not just with SoapUI, and I am glad I learnt this.

Hi Meera, I am having an issue with the Global Properties (Test Suite level) in SOAP UI. Below is the use case I am trying to achieve. 1. I have to execute total 3 services under one test suite. For this, created a separate test case for each service (under one test suite). 2. The 2nd service requires first service response data & the 3rd service requires 2nd service response. For this, I am trying to store the data (such as sessionid) in Global properties (Test Suite level) by using below code: testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.setPropertyValue("SessionID", "XYZ"); Question: When I store the property value with the above code, I am not able to see the storing value in the property window of the test suite. Please advice.

Hi , This is a greate blog. I am using SOAP UI and have configured the testcase request information in the property file as you have suggested in the blog. Now the problem is that , the property values are getting hardcoded in the SOAPUI Project XML in the tag. The requirement is since i have configured the values using property file i should be able to change it from the property file without using the SOAP UI interface. Is there a way to that. SOAP UI version : 2.0.2 Please provide your valuable comments. Please do let me know in case you require more details. Thanks In Advance Nikhil Gupta nikgupta@gmail.com

My objective is to get the response values out of the Response that is obtained from the SOAP UI in the assertion script.

I have tried to parse the response the way you suggested in the article and its returning null.

def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )

def responseHolder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("get-xyz-response Request 1#Response" )

 when trying to get the

 XPath

def appearanceColorResponse = responseHolder.getNodeValue("//appeareance-color")

I am getting the appearanceColorResponse as null.

Also I tried the other way registering the namespaces before doing the xpath.

def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )
def responseHolder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( messageExchange.responseContent )
 

declare namespace ns4='http://www.xyz.com/schemas/xyz/abc';
declare namespace ns1='http://www.xyz.com/schemas/xyz/def';
declare namespace ns2='http://www.xyz.com/schemas/xyz/klm';
declare namespace ns3='http://www.xyz.com/schemas/xyz/pqr';

def appearanceColorResponse = responseHolder.getNodeValue("//ns2:message[1]/ns2:message-body[1]/ns1:person-detail[1]/ns3:person[1]/ns4:entity[1]/ns4:appeareance-color[1]);

 

I am getting the appearanceColorResponse as null.

Hi,

I am new to SOAP UI.I wrote my application in using cakephp framework.I want to conduct web testing using a SOAP UI,like how to click a links and how to click a submit button once all input fields are entered.And also i want information about WSDL files.

Hi Meera, I am new to SOAPUI and going through various web tutorials and contents to understand how to write groovy script to control web services testing.I liked your website and learnt a lot about soapui and groovy.I have used QTP extensively for web services testing but have very limited knowledge of SOAPUI and Groovy and I am more into VB Scripting and not much into Java though I understand its syntax and logics.Please help me by providing code to explain data driven testing using groovy in soapui.I have free trial version of soapui pro and I do not want to use datasource a feature of sopaui which is available only in paid version of soapui.Is there any way I can write groovy script to read and write to external excel spreadsheet that will resolve my question.Please help me as soon as possible.Thanking in advance. Regards Vivek

Loading the WSDL you used I got following error message:

"Error loading [http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl]: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: error: does not close tag"

So I used following URL instead: http://graphical.weather.gov/xml/SOAP_server/ndfdXMLserver.php?wsdl

However, invoking the ZIP service using this URL, I get following response where the latLonList is not a proper XML tag but a escaped text field:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
   <SOAP-ENV:Body>
      <ns1:LatLonListZipCodeResponse xmlns:ns1="http://graphical.weather.gov/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl">
         <listLatLonOut xsi:type="xsd:string">&lt;?xml version='1.0'?>&lt;dwml version='1.0' xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation='http://graphical.weather.gov/xml/DWMLgen/schema/DWML.xsd'>&lt;latLonList>38.8787,-77.1019&lt;/latLonList>&lt;/dwml></listLatLonOut>
      </ns1:LatLonListZipCodeResponse>
   </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Am I doing something wrong? Does your setup still work? I am using SoapUI 4.5.1. Thanks.
