SoapUI Existing Code Modularization

Question

HI All,
&nbsp;
Can anyone from here suggest me how to approach modularization in SoapUI Pro legacy code.
I am trying to achieve modularization using groovy scripting but coming up short and ending up with manually setting the parameters

Like Lucian&nbsp;I also try to create a set of "common library" test cases, and then make extensive use of the Run TestCase Test Step. Here are a couple of posts where I talk about it in a bit more detail:

&nbsp;
Hopefully this will go together with Lucian&nbsp;post.

Yes, you can. As L mentioned, you can use a script library with soapui so you don't have to repeat the same scripts elsewhere.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
You will have to save class files somewhere in your folder and call them from SoapUI. Then you can just call specific methods from your groovy scripts.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Checkout the page below to walk you through this.

Hey,
&nbsp;
Sorry but what does modularization mean in this context?

lucian · Answer

If by SoapUI code you mean SoapUI tests then yes, you can refactor the tests and use libraries. I just wrote an article about this here.

Yeah, I wondered exact the same.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Could you please ask questions with as much detail as possible please?

Hi,
Actually my issue is, I have inherited some legacy SoapUI code for a product. Now my new client want to break the complex legacy code into smaller modules so that offshore team can run the QA test in a less complex manner.
I have identified some areas in the code which can be grouped together as a module. But i have no idea how to approach coding for it to happen.&nbsp;
In the above mentioned legacy code there are over 60 test suits with some repeatable test steps in several of them. Is there any way I can take out the common steps and make some kind of library file to make the test steps less complex.
