Akhilkumar,
More. Since SoapUI offers Mocking and Data Driven testing, I'm concerned that I need to nail down their merits as opposed to Monitoring.
I chose Monitoring because I have a perfectly good Server service and perfectly good client test program. If so, then all I need to do, via SoapUI, is to capture snapshots of the Soap Requests and Responses. So is Monitoring correct.
However, your answer "user directly" MAY hint at either Mocking or Data Driven testing. Might I have to throw away my client test and, instead, mimic/mock it on the server? Both my request and response structures are complex, and I hope to avoid that.
Can you please help me with these basics? Can I Monitor the server and client and simply get Soap snapshots? Or, does "User directly" mean more active mimic/mocking intervention?
