Automatic generated Test based on WSDL and XLS

Question

Hi everyone,&nbsp;I am new to SoapUI and got asked to have a look if we can script with groovy, apache POI automatic created Test Projects, cases and tests based on the provided WSDL and XLS files. Basically I like to understand which object dependencies exists and our approach will work.&nbsp;Given the fact that all properties are optional (close to 99%) and we have a large number of requests, we would like to get the request xml from the requests provided in the WSDL. Once we have this information we will compare it to the provide data from the excel sheet. The result or better the matching nodes will be stored in temporary properties and used to run the test.I had a look to the API and found RequestXmlDocument class. Is this the correct class to use for getting and setting the request XML. So far I had a look to the objects / interfaces needed in the super constructors.&nbsp;RequestXmlDocument, WsdlRequest, WsdlRequestConfig, WsdlOperation, OperationConfig, WsdlInterface, WsdlInterfaceConfig, WsdlProject.&nbsp;Is there documentation for object model and required object for this approach?&nbsp;Best Simon

Hi Simon,you can check the Java API documentation for SoapUI here:&nbsp;https://www.soapui.org/apidocs/index.html?overview-summary.html&nbsp;I like the SoapUI API design, but still miss enough information, as there is only brief or no description in the API documentation. This makes scripting harder, but it's still possible -- you need to search the tutorials and forums instead.&nbsp;I have done a similar task as yours (tests for a large number of services):1.&nbsp;generating SoapUI projects: I do this by Groovy scripts running outside of SoapUI and include Groovy scripts (setUp, tearDown and others) in the SoapUI project for the SoapUI runtime. These links may help:&nbsp;&nbsp;https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/Build-SoapUI-Project-files-with-Java/m-p/38255#M15378https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/create-a-project-dynamically-with-wsdl-with-groovy/td-p/41165&nbsp;2.&nbsp;taking requests from filesystem: you can achieve this&nbsp;by scripts included in the step above. You can make a loop over a test case a run a test for each request. See this link:&nbsp;https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/loop-the-test-steps-in-soapui-with-the-help-of-groovy/m-p/124442&nbsp;- comparing, storing&nbsp;and reporting the results: again, this can be done by&nbsp;Groovy tearDown scripts running inside SoapUI projects, this link may help to start:&nbsp;https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/I-want-to-store-the-entire-xml-response-in-the-specified/m-p/124413&nbsp;You request is too broad to answer all at once. Feel free to come back with more focused questions.&nbsp;Karel&nbsp;&nbsp;

Thank you Karel for pointing me to more documentation. I did some random scritping and figured out what we need. Thank you very much!
