SOAPUI API Testing | Step by Step for Beginners

Today we will learn:

1. What is SoapUI
2. Why to use SoapUI
3. How to Download and Install SoapUI
4. Difference between SoapUI Open Source and Paid versions

What is SoapUI
---------------------
API Testing Tool
For manual and automation testing of SOAP and REST APIs

Why to use SoapUI
-------------------------
1. To create quick and efficient API tests
2. To create API functional, performance and security tests
3. To create API Testing automation framework

Step 1 : Download SoapUI from - https://www.soapui.org/downloads/latest-release.html

Step 2 : Install SoapUI

__________________________________________________________________________

Today we will learn:

1. GUI components of SoapUI

2. Menu and Icons

3. Configurations

Cross platfrom tool

Built entirely over Java platform

uses Swing for GUI

Project > Test Suite > Test Case > Test Step

Project Navigator

Request Editor

Response Editor

Sample REST URI - http://thomas-bayer.com/sqlrest/CUSTOMER/10

Today we will learn:

1. How to create a SOAP API Project
2. How to add WSDL
3. How to create Test Suite > Test Cases
4. How to add Assertions
5. Run Test Step > Test Case > Test Suite
6. How to run in sequence and in parallel
7. How to create API Documentation

WSDL - http://webservices.oorsprong.org/websamples.countryinfo/CountryInfoService.wso?wsdl

Today we will learn:

1. Create a REST Project
2. Add a REST request 
3. How to add request parameters
4. Create a Test Case
5. Add assertions
6. Run and Validate

URI - Uniform Resource Identifier REST Endpoints - https://restcountries.eu/

Today we will learn:

1. What is property in soapui

2. Why do we use it

3. How to create properties at different levels

4. How to refer properties

Properties can be used as variables to store values that can be referred in testing

Properties can be accessed at following levels:

Project       - ${#Project#PropertyName}

TestSuite   - ${#TestSuite#PropertyName}

TestCase   - ${#TestCase#PropertyName}

TestStep    - ${TestStepName#PropertyName}

System   - ${#System#PropertyName}

Env        - ${#Env#PropertyName}

Global    - ${#Global#PropertyName}

Today we will learn:

1. How to get property

2. How to set property

3. How to add property

4. How to remove property

5. How to loop through all properties

Notes

// Get and Set Property

//Project

testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.getPropertyValue("Name")

testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.setPropertyValue("Name","I am in Project")

//TestSuite

testRunner.testCase.testSuite.getPropertyValue("Name")

testRunner.testCase.testSuite.setPropertyValue("Name","I am in TestSuite")

//TestCase

testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("Name")

testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("Name","I am in TestCase")

//TestStep

testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("CountryCodes").getPropertyValue("Name")

testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("CountryCodes").setPropertyValue("Name","I am in Test Step")

//Global

com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.globalProperties.getPropertyValue( "Name")

com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.globalProperties.setPropertyValue( "Name","I am in Global Prop" )

// Add Property

testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.addProperty("DOB")

// Remove property

//Project

testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.removeProperty("Name");

//TestSuite

testRunner.testCase.testSuite.removeProperty("Name")

// Loop through properties

testRunner.testCase.properties.each

{

key,value ->

log.info (testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue(key))

//log.info (key+" - "+value)

}

GROOVY Scripting - Getting Started
------------------------------------------------

------------------------
1. What is Groovy
2. How to add groovy scripts in SoapUI
3. How to do basic coding in groovy in SoapUI
4. Basic Object Oriented Programming. (Classes and Objects)

Code Snippets
=============
import java.io.*;

log.info ("        Hello World ...  ");

int a = 10 ;
int b = 20 ;
int c = a+b ;
log.info ("   Result is : "+c) ;

// this is a single line comment

/*
 * This is
 * multiline comment
 */

 //log
 //context
 //testRunner

log.info testRunner.metaClass.methods*.name.unique().sort()

======================

class Hello{

def log;
def context;
def testRunner;

def Hello(log, context, testRunner){
this.log = log
this.context = context
this.testRunner = testRunner
}

def sayHello(String name){
log.info ("   Hello "+name);
}

}

context.setProperty("Hello", new Hello(log,context,testRunner))

========================

def testStep = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Hello")

testStep.run(testRunner, context)

context.Hello.sayHello("Raghav")

============================

project = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project ;
 tcase = project.testSuites["TestSuite3"].testCases["TestCase1"] ; 
 hello = tcase.getTestStepByName("Hello");

hello.run(testRunner, context)

context.Hello.sayHello("Raghav")

project = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project ;
 tcase = project.testSuites["TestSuite"].testCases["TestCaseName"] ; 
 hello = tcase.getTestStepByName("Hello");

log.info testRunner.metaClass.methods*.name.unique().sort()

context.setProperty("Hello", new Hello(log,context,testRunner))

def hello = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Hello");

hello.run(testRunner, context)

def ref = context.Hello;
ref.printHello("Raghav");

Today we will learn:

1. How to run a request or step from GUI
2. How to run a request or step from Groovy
3. Options for command line runs

Useful TIPS

//Groovy - run request from same TestCase
def status = testRunner.runTestStepByName("TestStepName")
def result = status.getStatus().toString();
log.info ("   >>>   "+result)

//Groovy - run request from another TestCase or TestSuite
project = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project ;
tcase = project.testSuites["TestSuiteName"].testCases["TestCaseName"] ; 
tstep = tcase.getTestStepByName("TestStepName");
def status = tstep.run(testRunner, context)
def result = status.getStatus().toString();
log.info ("   >>>   "+result)

suite.run(null,false)
// null can be replaced with : new com.eviware.soapui.support.types.StringToObjectMap()
log.info ("   >>>   "+suite.getName().toString()+" - Executed successfully")

1. What is SetUp and TearDown
2. Why to use it
3. How to use SetUp and TearDown scripts in SoapUI
4. How to set SetUp and TearDown with groovy scripts

Setup - runs before running the element in context
Teardown - runs after running the element in context

groovy code to set and get setup and teardown scripts 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.getTestSuiteByName('TestSuite1').getTestCaseByName('TestCase1').setSetupScript('log.info "setup"')
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.getTestSuiteByName('TestSuite1').getTestCaseByName('TestCase1').setTearDownScript('log.info "teardown"')

log.info ("  >>  "+testRunner.testCase.getSetupScript());
log.info ("  >>  "+testRunner.testCase.getTearDownScript());

groovy code can be given at project load script to load setup and teardown scritps from file
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def su = new File("setup.txt").text
def td  = new File("teardown.txt").text

project.getTestSuiteList().each { testSuite ->
 testSuite.getTestCaseList().each { testCase ->
  testCase.setSetupScript(su)
  testCase.setTearDownScript(td)
 }
}
