Mastering SoapUI

Overview of this book

SoapUI is an open-source cross-platform testing application that provides complete test coverage and supports all the standard protocols and technologies. This book includes real-time examples of implementing SoapUI to achieve quality and business assurance. Starting with the features and functionalities of SoapUI, the book will then focus on functional testing, load testing, and security testing of web services. Furthermore, you will learn how to automate your services and then design data-driven, keyword-driven, and hybrid-driven frameworks in SoapUI. Then the book will show you how to test UIs and services using SoapUI with the help of Selenium. You will also learn how to integrate SoapUI with Jenkins for CI and SoapUI test with QC with backward- and forward-compatibility. The final part of the book will show you how to virtualize a service response in SoapUI using Service Mocking. You will finish the journey by discovering the best practices for SoapUI test automation and preparing yourself for the online certification of SoapUI.

Why do we need best practices?


Best practices are essential for the successful implementation of any automation testing project. Best practices help us to avoid hurdles and help us achieve the desired results in Test Automation with the successful implementation of the framework with minimum maintenance and maximum reusable script.

Best practices are the guidelines following which we face less challenges and gain maximum efficiency.

Like any other test automation, SOA testing also has its best practices as experts have learnt in their career while implementing SOA test automation frameworks.

Let's go through the best practices for SOA test automation

  • Choose the right tool

  • Get involved early in the development and design phase

  • Get the right resources

  • Plan candidate for virtualization or service mocking

  • Process

  • Define candidate for automation

  • Dedicated and locked test environment

  • Encapsulated framework

  • Dynamic assertions

  • Three levels in SOA testing

  • Perform non-functional tests

  • Correct onshore nearshore...
