Automation: Importing multiple existing projects

Hi!

hmm.. you can import as many projects as you like - but you have to do it one at a time.

Regarding your question on automation - I would suggest you do the following:

1) Create a TestSuite and TestCase in your project
2) Add your request to the TestCase as a SOAP Request TestStep
3) Add assertions to the TestStep to validate the response
4) Save the project
5) Run the TestCase from the command-line using the command-line tools any time you need to run the request (see http://soapui.org/Test-Automation/functional-tests.html)

In this way you can easily run the request any time you need to.

Does that make sense?

Hi,

You mean if I have 100 existing projects (xml), I need to import it one at a time?

You're suggestion in automation requires importing project one by one?

Is the a way that I will just set the folder path of my existing projects then run a script/batch then the will be done?

Hi,

hmm.. if you have 100 projects in this format I still suggest you add a TestCase to each of them containing the corresponding Test Request. You can then create a batch/shell script that calls the soapUI TestRunner for each project from the command-line.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, "add a test case in each of them", you mean I should open the files first one at a time? And if I have another set of 100 xml's, I need to do the same process? Kindly clarify.

Hi,

yes - open each project - add a TestCase with a SOAP Test Request as I outlined in my first response - this will make it possible to run the tests automatically from the command-line.

wow, it's kinda tiring, thanks for your input, I just thought that there's a way to open each project automatically. Thanks for the responses.

Hi,

ok - well - I guess you could write a java program that opens the projects programmatically and executes the first request it finds - have a look at the code example at http://soapui.org/Developers-Corner/int ... oapui.html to give you and idea..
