Integrating Soap UI and TestComplete

Hi,   I just wanted to pick the brains of people who probably has the same requirement as we do. We're trying to integrate our ReadyAPI Project with our testcomplete tests. And I was just wondering...

    This is how we do a small subset of our tests and so far it has been working great. Due to lack of ReadyAPI licenses we even had to make an XML Editor that allowed us to make a sort of Environment functionality to SoapUI. 

     

    This is actually approach 3 which has its own pros and cons.

We actually use a combination of options one and three. We wrote a generic script to call ReadyAPI from test complete using the wShell object that takes a JSON paremeter, parses and tags that on to the command to launch testrunner.bat. The ready API test then dump results into another JSON files named based on our data in the JSON parameter and we then read and parse that back in to continue the GUI portion of the test.

I didn't think about doing the command line version of ReadyAPI to remove the need of mapping each test to a ready API "test" inside test complete. Thanks for this idea! 

 

As for passing back data onto TestComplete it seems like the dumping data into either a JSON or a database is the only way to do it. SmartBear has yet to make an integration from Ready API back to TestComplete. Hoping it becomes a feature in the future to actually improve testing of both the API front and the UI Components of an application.
