Custom test steps in soapUI ?
Hello,
I saw this post on /Ole's blog

Is it possible to create custom teststeps in soapUI ? Here is what I am trying to do.
We have a set of webservices that power some embedded devices like TVs, Blue Ray players etc. The testing of these devices is very manual at the moment. However, it is possible to issue commands to these devices via telnet or some other interface. these commands would correspond to a user pressing some button on the remote. Each event has some output like generating a menu layout file, going to next screen, populating content etc. These are currently visually inspected but should really be automated.
Here comes in soapUI custom test step.
I would like to create/register a soapui teststeps (ex: Menu Command, Playback command, photo slide command). soapUI already has manual teststeps which are really helping out. The ability to create custom teststep would allow automation teams to create functionality for manual testers so that they can semi-automate use cases directly on soapui without actually interacting with the device.
Let me know if this made sense and if you would like more explanation.
Thanks as always
Ali
