How to execute soapui test cases parallel and in one go

So this seems to be an interesting one for me personally.

There is many issues here, running TestSteps from multiple different TestCases will be difficult and SoapUI is not exactly designed to handle this. For best results, the Test Steps should be in the same TestCase in order for SoapUI to give you 'proper' results (IE, being able to see what actually happened), this can of course be bypassed by scripting a logger function and if inclined, a GUI.

As for running these concurrently, this is going to be much more difficult than you might imagine. I will give you a basic script to get you started though.

def testSuite = testRunner.testCase.testSuite;
//Get all test cases in the testSuite
for (TestCases in testSuite.getTestCaseList()) {
//Get all Soap type test steps within the testCases
 for ( testStep in TestCases.getTestStepsOfType(com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.WsdlTestRequestStep.class)){
//Print out the name for the testStep
  log.info testStep.getName();
//If it's not disabled, run it
  if (!testStep.isDisabled()) {
//Set the TestRunner to the respective TestCase
   TestRunner = new com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.testcase.WsdlTestCaseRunner(TestCases, null);
//Start multithreading since you want them all ran at once
   def th = Thread.start {
Run them all and then rejoin the threads
    TestRunner.runTestStepByName(testStep.getName());
    th.join();
   }
  }
 }
}

I had some issues with this, mainly things like being able to view the results.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for sharing the code. But when I tried to run the same , I have observed that the tests are not running actually.
I have added some log statements to check whether thread is executing and also tried to print the response in the soapui log to verify but I have seen that the code for thread is actually not executed.

Modified code:
def th = Thread.start {
Run them all and then rejoin the threads
log.info("thread")
TestRunner.runTestStepByName(testStep.getName());
def soapResponse = testRunner.getTestCase().getTestStepByName("Request").getProperty("response");
log.info(soapResponse)
th.join();
}
*These two log statements are not printed in my soapui logs*

My best guess would be a silly error that doesn't get displayed due to the threading. When I looked back over my coding I noticed something,

Run them all and then rejoin the threads

This line should have been a comment but it's not commented out so it is failing there.


Now I did notice that it appears to have issues running all of the different test cases for some odd reason. Threading can be extremely complex and honestly, SoapUI does not handle it that well. For scenarios like this I would personally recommend using Java to run SoapUI project files or some external source.

Not sure if you got over with this.

If you double click on TestSuite, there you find an option to run the tests in parallel. Have you checked this page?

Hi Rao,

As per the link, i tried to execute the test cases in parallel. But it din execute any of my test.
I don know the reason. Will that option being enabled only if we use SOAP UI Pro or by default that feature will be enabled for free ware also?

Thanks,
