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.

The preceding figure shows that the DevOps team is an intersection of all three major teams.

So as you see in the preceding figure DevOps is a role which is an integration of all three teams in SDLC.

The DevOps Team has good communication with both QA and Dev for the following reasons:

  • Development explains to them how the system works and how the deployment scripts should be coded

  • QA explains to them how to test the deployed system and write additional tests and automate them

  • Operation team keeps them aware of any changes that happen to the system after production

Now let's have a look at how test Automation has a role to play in DevOps.

As we have seen, DevOps people need to write tests with QA that help to validate the build. So here comes the need for test automation. DevOps automate the sanity or smoke test suite and hook it up with any Continuous Integration tools like Jenkins. What happens...
