For Loop in a Test Case

Hi,
This can be achieved using groovy script.
Go to add step and click on groovy script.
Now, like any other programming language, write the desired code for 'for' loop.
It can be like:
for(i=<initial value>; i<=10; i++)
{
if(i<10)
{
testRunner.runTestStepByName("<step name 1>")
}
else
{
testRunner.runTestStepByName("<step name 2>")
}
}

Here, please ensure first that you want to jump to the target test step before completion of the current test step. If you want current step to complete first and then jump to target test step, use

testRunner.gotoTestStepByName("<step name>")

instead of

testRunner.runTestStepByName("<step name>")

Hope it solves the purpose.

Hello,
Thanks for the response regarding using groovy. I was wondering, can I also do this by using a property?
1. Create a property called count, and initialize count to 0
2. Send a transaction request
3. Increment the property called count by 1
4. Delay for 10 seconds
5. Conditional goto: Get the value of count. If count == 10, break from the loop. Otherwise, goto step 2.
6. End

Thanks,

Hi Ankita

Can you also provided where you found these syntaxes. Link where i can look them up

thanks

Hi Kumar,

Most of the things are there on this forum itself. soapUI website is also helpful.

Thanks Ankitha.

I have a question.
I want to loop the test case based on the response i am going to get, how do i read/load the response in Groovy script? do you have any syntax for this?

Thanks,
Balaji

You can read values from a previous response like this:

${TestStepName#Response#//nodeA[1]/nodeB[1]}

Using Xpath to select which XML node you want.

Where/how exactly do i use ${TestStepName#Response#//nodeA[1]/nodeB[1]}.

I would like to get the response in Groovy Script step.

Thanks

def count = context.expand( '${TestStepName#Response#//nodeA[1]/nodeB[1]}' )


Lets say your response looks like:

<serviceResponse>
    <nodeA>
       <nodeB>100</nodeB>
    </nodeA>
</serviceResonse>

then in groovy step (of same test case) do:

def count = context.expand( '${TestStepName#Response#//serviceResponse[1]/nodeA[1]/nodeB[1]}' )

Now variable 'count' holds a string with value "100"

Thanks a lot, it works..
