How to read and use SoapUI API for non Dev people?

Hello,   i don't have any background in development especially in java. I would like to learn how to read and use SoapUI API from SoapUI API docs (http://www.soapui.org/apidocs/index.html?overview...

    Context is defined at project, test suite, and test case levels. So object can vary depending upon where it is being accessed. And similarly TestRunner.

    To your question, both are not same, testRunner is member variable of context object. Applies to all levels.

 Hi,

 

This obviously isn't a complete answer, just my personal view and before learning about SoapUI, Groovy scripting and writing a book about it, I had a lot of Java / API / frameworks experience, but I would say the online help docs can be quite useful and was where I started e.g.

http://www.soapui.org/scripting---properties/tips---tricks.html

 

Basically I learned by example, created lots of Groovy Test Steps and had a good hack about to learn how to extract / insert data to and from objects, requests and responses... 

 

Also, there are various blogs etc and was one book at the time. 

 

I never did the certification, not sure how much scripting is in that, possibly someone else could say?

 

Any specific examples / explanataions of variables / scripts, then let me know...

 

Cheers,

Rupert

    Though the question is too generic, but it is near to my heart as I was in the same situation when I started using it.
    Initially, started searching on the net. Sometimes, lucky to get the info what was needed then and sometimes may not.
    On one fine day, had happened to watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92WEfVJPJDQ
    And started more thirst from there.
    Hope you too get the benefit out of it.
