Data handling is a key requirement expected from any software regardless of the architectural style used to build them. In SOA, there can be various heterogeneous application integrations. An application that runs on the Oracle database can be communicated with a data processing web service which connects to an MS SQL database. The brokering middleware solutions such as Enterprise Service Buses (ESB) facilitate the necessary data format transformations, which need to be happening when communicating incompatible systems. Before the web services take part in such integrations, it is always recommended to verify the data-related operations in isolation. In other words, when your database schemas are ready, testers can start testing the integrity of the databases used in your solution. By testing the database schema in advance without waiting to access data through web service interfaces, testers can utilize time effectively and explore potential test...

Overview of this book
Quality is a key to success of service-oriented projects. Utilization of proper tools is important to the outcome of web service testing methodology. Being the leading open source web services testing tool, soapUI helps to build robust and flexible automated tests in a productive manner.
"Web Services Testing with soapUI" guides you on adopting best web service testing mechanisms with the industry leading open source testing tool, soapUI. You will learn to use soapUI effectively in testing service-oriented solutions focusing on testing functional as well as non-functional characteristics of web services. SoapUI is capable of testing JDBC data sources, web applications, RESTful services and web services exposed over transports such as JMS. The book discusses all these features and much more, in detail, through practical and clear examples.
This book is focused on learning soapUI in order to test web services in an effective manner. It starts with a general introduction to service-oriented architecture (SOA) followed by testing aspects of service-oriented solutions. This book aims to give readers a comprehensive overview of usage of soapUI in SOA and web services testing projects.
Starting with an overview of SOA and web services testing, you will quickly get your hands dirty with a sample project which makes use of open source web service engine, Apache Axis2. All demonstrations and hands-on exercises are based on this sample project. The tests in a soapUI project are organized into TestSuites, TestCases and TestSteps. You will also learn how soapUI can be used for both functional and non-functional testing. The book then teaches how by using groovy scripting and integrating with Junit and maven, soapUI can easily be used in automated web services testing.
By the end, you'llhave learned to test functional and non-functional aspects of web services and automate by integrating into continuous build systems using soapUI.
