Hi Simon,
you can check the Java API documentation for SoapUI here: https://www.soapui.org/apidocs/index.html?overview-summary.html
I like the SoapUI API design, but still miss enough information, as there is only brief or no description in the API documentation. This makes scripting harder, but it's still possible -- you need to search the tutorials and forums instead.
I have done a similar task as yours (tests for a large number of services):
1. generating SoapUI projects: I do this by Groovy scripts running outside of SoapUI and include Groovy scripts (setUp, tearDown and others) in the SoapUI project for the SoapUI runtime. These links may help:
2. taking requests from filesystem: you can achieve this by scripts included in the step above. You can make a loop over a test case a run a test for each request. See this link:
- comparing, storing and reporting the results: again, this can be done by Groovy tearDown scripts running inside SoapUI projects, this link may help to start:
You request is too broad to answer all at once. Feel free to come back with more focused questions.
Karel
Thank you Karel for pointing me to more documentation. I did some random scritping and figured out what we need. Thank you very much!
