Testing your Webservice Applications using SOAP UI

SOAP UI is a standard desktop application for testing the Web Services projects. It provides full support for debugging, developing and testing of your web services applications.
The tool support data driven development and also provides platform for creating test suites where you can create services for regression testing. For example if you want to test the complete flow of your SOA application, you can create Test Suites using SOAP UI and can perform end to end testing of your applications. The test suits can be configured to run in multiple environments (dev, sit, uat or production).

Okay, let’s start the working on SOAPUI. I will show you the simple webservice testing that I developed in my last blog.

Prerequisites:
-You have developed your webservices
-Webservice is ready and running on your local server
-Installed SOAP UI tool

Step-1
Download the SOAPUI tool

Step-2
Open the soap UI Tool

Setp-3
Right click on the project and choose New SOAP Project. Import Project is the option for adding existing web service project.



Step-4
Give the name for your new SOAP Project and add the WSDL url.

Step-5
Enter the localhost and port number, the name and location of your schema + .wsdl ex. http://localhost:8081/springproject/country/countryLookup.wsdl

Step-6
Click OK





Step-7
Click Yes on the Create default requests for all operations. This will add all the mandatory and option request parameters from your webservice.

Step-8
The new webservice will now be created in the project and automatically has one request


           


Step-9
Double click Request 1

Step-10
The left side of the new window displays the request for the Webservices Inputs.
Enter the input data in place of “?”.
    

Step-11
You can have both mandatory and required inputs for your service. You can ignore option inputs.

(If you have some requirement of implementing security with the service. That can be implemented using header tag.)

Step-12
Now once you have provided the required inputs submit the request.

Step-13
Click the Play button at the upper left portion of the request window  .

The right side should now display the response



Step-14
After the success of the response message right click and select validate



Step-15
It should show a Validation OK


                 



Once the Validation shows as OK. It’s all well.
