Champion Level 3Have you tried SoapUI?
I have, and SoapUI works. It is marketed that TestComplete can perform this without SoapUI, but our QA team and help of development we have not been successful. And I continue to get scripted responses from SB that say to look at the documentation which we have basically memorized at this point.
We are now attempting to pass parameters and/or variable values from TestComplete to SoapUI.
Champion Level 3So this doesn't work for you?
That is the scripted response from SB. And no, it does not work. I sent the XML that we are using, and even sent the javascript (using their template with our values) to them and it is still failing. I requested to do a screen share to show them what we are attempting to perform, hoping to help speed up a resolution but were denied. They stated that it would be to vast of a subject to discuss over call/webshare.
It would be helpful to see the same screenshots, etc. We have used a web service within TestComplete to send messaging from TestComplete to an API WSDL with success so I know it works. So, I guess the question would be what are you doing differently?
I can't guarentee that I'll be able to fix your problem, but if you give a bit more detail on what you've attempted with TestComplete's WebServices interface, maybe I'll see something.
That said... SoapUI IS probably the better tool for the job. And there's a free/non-pro version that still works in conjunction with TestComplete. If you think of it as a screwdriver and a hammer.. I can use the claw end of a hammer to unscrew something... or the handle of a screw driver to pound in a nail... but my capabilities are limited in either case. TestComplete is a functional UI testing tool. Including WebServices testing in TestComplete helps testers like me who needed to have the capability to do a little bit of API testing in the middle of a larger functional test. But for full API testing, I'd want a tool that targets that specifically...
