    Hi,

     

    I have figured it why i experienced it . First of all it was my bad :)  Noting it here it it can be helpful to some one

     

    First of all if you see below example

    a) app/services/product

    b) app/services/product?orderBy=name

     

     

    they are basically same resource.... the second one has an additional query parameter

    If you develop 2 different resources for these , and try to generate test cases from it .... soapUI will always consider the first resource only.... so in your second test case... the query parameter 'orderBy' will not be there....

     

    instead always create only one resource with the parameter added...

    using the same resource , you can generate two different test cases... in one you can pass the query parameter and do not pass parameter value in another test case which we will be same as (a) case ..

     

    so you won't get confused that the test step in the test case is not updated with correct resource / parameters

     

    Cheers

Or in a more simplified words ,

Not sure why generated test case is not looking exactly same as the resource from which the test case got generated in terms of the parameters that are present .

 

This may create problems especially for people like me using maven plugin to run the suite . and the test case present in the project file might not be with the correct paramters added , so the test also not happening agaist the correct end point and you will end up missing to notice this and then beleiving your test done the right thing  ...

 

 

nmraosorry if i am bothering you, but would like to check if you aware of any such behaviour having spend quite long time with soapUI

 

Thanks & Warm Regards
