Hi,

Actually my issue is, I have inherited some legacy SoapUI code for a product. Now my new client want to break the complex legacy code into smaller modules so that offshore team can run the QA test in a less complex manner.

I have identified some areas in the code which can be grouped together as a module. But i have no idea how to approach coding for it to happen. 

In the above mentioned legacy code there are over 60 test suits with some repeatable test steps in several of them. Is there any way I can take out the common steps and make some kind of library file to make the test steps less complex.

    Yes, you can. As L mentioned, you can use a script library with soapui so you don't have to repeat the same scripts elsewhere. 

     

    You will have to save class files somewhere in your folder and call them from SoapUI. Then you can just call specific methods from your groovy scripts. 

     

    Checkout the page below to walk you through this.

    If by SoapUI code you mean SoapUI tests then yes, you can refactor the tests and use libraries. I just wrote an article about this here.
