Assert not equals a specific value
I have a web service that I am creating a test suite for in Soap UI Pro (Ready API 2.0). I need to add an assertion that a particular field does NOT return the value 1.0 but I can't figure out how to do this.
Here is what my raw response structure looks like:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<ns1:myWebService>
<return>
<factor>1.00000605897785</factor>
<level>A</level>
<amount>281431.98</amount>
</return>
</ns1:myWebService>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>I need to verify that the value returned in the "factor" is not 1.0. It can be like the value here where there are extended decimal places; just as long as it is not exactly 1.0 it is valid.
There isn't a convenient "Not Equals" assertion, nor would a "not contains" work here, so I assume that I would have to do this with a script, but I am very new when it comes to scripts in general and Groovy in particular.
So if you use an XPATH assertion, you'd end up with an xpath statement that ends up like:
//ns1:myWebServce/return/factor
in the top part of the assertion and
1.00000605897785
in the bottom pane, saying that this is the expected value.
You can change your XPATH statement to
//ns1:myWebServce/return/factor = 1.0
and have your expected value be
false
