Best way to programmatically test services with different variables?

[david2]

Hello! I need to test a service with multiple variables to a SOAP request. What is the best way to test this without Cloning Test Cases? The sticking point is that I need to see the individual responses for each run of the Test Case sent. Is this possible?

The data driven approach is suitable for that based on what I understand from the question.

What is the data driven approach in regards to SOAP UI Test Suites? Can you walk me through the steps I would use to set up my test cases? Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.

Hi,

Rao is on the money here.  Data Driven Tests (https://www.soapui.org/docs/data-driven-tests/functional-tests/ ) allow you to use a source of data, e.g. Excel, and take each value from the row and add it to a request.

IMHO, this is the standout feature of ReadyAPI.

Thank you. It looks like it only gets the HTTP status code returned rather than the full response for each method call. Is there a way to get the full response for each call to the API service?

[nmrao]

May be that is an exceptional case where no response is returned, may be a REST API. That is not always true and depends on how the services are implemented.

Have a look at the below one

Thank you Chris and Rao!

Hi @david2 ! Were you able to solve this?

Not entirely.
