Automate SoapUI

Hi There,   I wonder; is there anyway to 'Automate' SOAPUI entirely? I mean; not only running tests, but also making them? And besides making them, also have stuff like adding and using environme...

Looking at what you want to do, using something like Jenkins to kick of a specific test or set of tests might be useful. We have several projects that we run using Jenkins, both kicked off manually or kicked off according to a schedule. It's pretty easy to do and can be set up so that the tests are running in their own workspaces, and thus isolated from each other from running the test point of view. 

 

Thus you don't need to create the test projects each time, the test projects are defined once in SoapUI, but you just choose the test project you want to run from an existing list of test projects. Might mean you need less groovy skills to programatically create SoapUI projects on the fly.

 

Just a thought and a different approach that might meet your needs.

Hi There,

 

Sounds Ok, that Jenkins and i will definatelly look into it. It might be usefull for me in future, but its not what i want to do at this moment..

What i want to do is make the projects, testcases and teststeps  every time i need to do my regression tests so that i don't have to keep track of every single alteration in the wsdl's.

Its supposed to become a time saver.

 

For this moment all i have to know is what groovy command i need to use to close project A and open project B. If i know that, then i can try (its all try and error atm) to get a step further...

 

The steps that i want to follow are:

1: automatically make projects 

    1.1 automatically fill some environment variables like different environment url's, different usernames/passwords, etc

2: automatically make testcases

3: automatically make teststeps

4: automatically fill the teststeps

5: run tests automatically and get a report

 

Step 1 is working (not 1.1, i will save that for later)

Step 2 isnt atm.

Step 5 is covered, i know how to do that

    Ok, i managed to do steps 1 and  2

     

    Atm i am really struggling with adding SOAP teststeps from the WSDL.

    I have several operations in the WSDL, lets say: Create, CreateOrUpdate, Delete, Retrieve, etc.

     

    Now i need to make 1 teststep for each operations in the wsdl automatically.

     

    Does anyone know how to let groovy read the wsdl and make a teststep for each method found?

     

    I am working with the following:

    Project Test

    Suite: Testsuite 1

    Case: Testcase 1

     

    Teststeps? (to be made)

      Hi,

       

      Sorry, I've been quiet on this topic, work has been very busy!

       

      To create a project and import a WSDL did you see:

       

      https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/How-to-get-parameter-of-SOAP-operation/m-p/99768#M17648

       

      To create Projects / TestSuites / TestSteps / Requests with Groovy, I did something like this for REST services, please see:

      https://github.com/bearsoftware/ReplaceRequestInAllTestStepsAction/blob/master/src/test/groovy/bsl/custom/RelatedTestStepUpdaterTest.groovy

       

      Do these links help at all?

       

      Regards,

      Rup

        Hi Rupert,

         

        Thanks for the reply.

         

        Difficulty for me is that i am a complete newbee at groovy and java.

        Which means i really don't know which commando i actually miss.

         

        So far i have got this working: 

        I have 1 project, with a datasource step and a groovy step.

        The datasource step will get the variables url and name for me from an excel list.

        Up till making the project and the testsuite + testcase, it works fine.

        But now i have to add some lines to make the appropiate teststeps for me. The WSDL has several methods included and i need some code to add them all.

        I have been googling and trying to get the right syntax, but i cant seem to get the steps made from the wsdl.

         

        -------------------------------------------------------------

        import com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.*
        import com.eviware.soapui.impl.WsdlInterfaceFactory
        import com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.*

         

        def url = context.expand( '${Lees wsdl vanuit excel#url}' )
        def projectName = context.expand( '${Lees wsdl vanuit excel#naam}' )
        def currentProject = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project
        def workspace = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.workspace

        WsdlProject project = currentProject
        .getWorkspace()
        .createProject(projectName, new File(projectName + ".xml"))
        WsdlInterface iface = WsdlInterfaceFactory.importWsdl(project, url, true )[0]
        suite = project.addNewTestSuite("testsuite1")
        tc = suite.addNewTestCase ("testcase1")
