Data Driven SOAP Request Test

I was able to add properties, load them from an external file, transfer the properties, and run the test in an automated fashion. I am using the free version.

What I want to do is have the test "loop" through multiple data sets. Is this possible?

I already understand you can do this with the pro version, where you use the datasource and datasourceloop.

Obviously I have some ideas where I can write additional code to change my properties file, execute, rename results, run again, etc as a workaround, but I was hoping this was possible without extra effort outside soapUI. Thanks!

    You can have a Groovy script (called say "StartScript") to successively change the source file for the Properties

    testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Properties").setSource("theNextFile")


    Then another at the end of the test case to loop around ("LoopScript") 

    testRunner.gotoStepByName("StartScript")


    Of course you also need to know when to stop!

    Ahh, thank you! I'm new to the tool and haven't investigated groovy scripts yet. Sounds like that's where I need to be spending my time. Appreciate the help!
