I'm new SoapUI Pro with automation. With the help of the SoapUI Pro tool, I have tested only request and response for the service so far. If I want to automate this process by writing script using groovy inside SoapUI Pro tool how do I do it?
What are the per-requisites required to learn Groovy script?
Please anyone guide me..
Thanks in advance!
Steps for a navie to start SoapUI Test Automation
Understand XML DOM (http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_dom.asp) in detail. What's it all about.
Understand how SoapUI Works. Go to their website.
Identify what exactly is your requirement that you want to automate. It could be as simple as Running a Test Suite for already present/created Test Suite or to Generate Realtime XML Request from bindings, Connecting Excel to fetch data, Generating XML Response and Validating, Generating log etc. Sky is the limit.
Go Step-by-Step and you should be all good to automate SoapUI.
Answering here to the initiated question.
You need understanding of any basic programming/scripting, OOP capability/knowledge, REST/Http/Https and JSON/XML.
Don't worry it's all easy, first double click on any test case/suite, you will see it's editor, in that there is a option for "setup script" for before running tests.
Please analyze what all variables on top are listed, like : runner/testRunner, testCase/testSuite, logger, context...etc.
There are methods from which one can get another handle, like from testCase you can get testSuite/teststep via respective methods, so those you need to know.
The idea is to run a testCase/Suite/Step by script, which you already have configured, you can set header for each api and also properties too. You can even do almost everything via Groovy/JavaScript scripting in soapui.
I am actually going to create a blog having required groovy scripts to do automation regarding, REST API execution and testing.
I will be posting that link here.
Thanks!

We got one assignment to compile selected siebel objects using VBA macros.
When i say selected it means list of objects will be available in one excel sheet.
is it possible to compile automatically in VBA?
any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I can help you with this.
NO.
You can double check with Oracle support.
As #Ranjith already mentioned, there is no supported API to compile an SRF. This applies to both the VBA COM and the Java Bean.
Even if you managed to find an undocumented way of compiling the SRF using VBA, it would be unsupported by Oracle. Any issue you have afterwards they will request you reproduce your issue with a standard compile. So, I'd also recommend not investing in this route.
For arguments sake I'll assume that there is a supported way for a moment. Even then I'd argue that Excel is the worst way to automate a compile and deployment of a SRF. It's a client application, it can't - or is difficult - to run on a command line and doesn't interface with proper Continuous Integration tools like Jenkins, Travis CI, Bamboo and the lot.
Building a CI/CD pipeline for Siebel from scratch is complex. Take your time to research the matter. Have a look at the commercial party support and if you do want to develop your own, find a good DevOps engineer and couple him with a strong Siebel Engineer with deployment experience.
As all previous commentators mentioned, this is a challenge, but still possible.
Matter the fact you can use scripting on the Siebel Tools Object Compiler service, which is triggered via siebdev.exe batch compile call. Messing around RepositoryName input parameter can give you the way to pass Excel file name into the service.
Incremental compilation could be performed, following these complex steps on the PreInvokeMethod hook:
Open a transaction, using EAI Transaction Service (may require some ddl libraries from the Windows Siebel Server distribution)
Create a new project (e.g. "__my_incremental_compilation__")
Find the desired repository objects and move them to your project
Pass project name to the ProjectsList parameter of the service's Inputs property set
Continue service call (wait for the end of the compilation)
Rollback the transaction
This worked well for me, when I got stuck with the same question.
Hope it helps you!
How to do automation for web services using Cu Cumber? Please guide me on how to start it for my project on web services.
You cannot start automation testing using cucumber. Cucumber is just a BDD framework, which lets you execute test cases.
However, The most recommended option is to use ruby language with the cucumber framework. If your using ruby and if your project has rest-api's, you can use the gem called rest-client and airborne.
You can search about these, and learn how are you going to pass the request with the parameters and analyse the response and call these codes using gherkin language. All these together will constitute a framework called cucumber, which you can use to execute.
On a side note: The next time you post, please have some research already done and post what error are you facing.
This question already has answers here:
Can Selenium take a screenshot on test failure with JUnit?
(3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I am using the MSpec test framework/runner and the Selenium Web Driver. I want to take a screenshot whenever a test fails and saves it so that I can see the error later. I am thinking there can be two possibilities:
Does MSpec have an assertion-failed event? Something like the cleanup interfaces?
Does Selenium have some kind of failure event that can automatically take the screenshot?
Can anyone please tell me if you have done something similar and how?
There is a similar question answered already here but my scenario is different. I don't want to modify my tests and put a try catch there in every test.
Although Selenium happily supports taking screenshots (see this answer on taking screenshots in C#), it will have no knowledge of the test runner you are using it within. In fact, as a multi-purpose browser driver, it may be used for a lot of other tasks in addition to testing.
You'll need to add some kind of hook to your MSpec runner on failure to trigger this code. I have done something similar which worked great with JUnit in Java (an #Rule for failures), I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with MSpec to suggest what to use here. I do suggest you have your screenshots published as a build test artifact for easy access in a CI environment.
Does anyone know if it is possible to create a console application in c# that calls loads a webtest in a test project?
I have added a reference to the project but get stuck when trying to call the test from main(). I am using vs 2010 to do this.
Any ideas? Searched around but couldn't find anything on what I specifically was trying to do.
Cheers.
I don't know if you're willing to consider alternative solutions other than a Visual Studio Web Test. You could write your test using the free Telerik Testing Framework http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/free-testing-framework.aspx and it can be built into your own executable as demonstrated at http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/code-samples/general/test-as-application.aspx.
If you want to take advantage of the recorder and record your tests, there's also a way of executing the recorded test from another executable. http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/online-api-reference/html/overload_artoftest_webaii_design_execution_runhelper_test.htm,
I've been doing some work testing web applications with Cucumber and I currently have a number of steps set up to run with Culerity. This works well, but there are times when it would be nice to run the exact same stories in Selenium.
I see two possible approaches that may work:
Writing each step so that it performs the step appropriately depending on the value of some global variable.
Having separate step definition files and somehow selectively including the correct one.
What is the preferred method for accomplishing this?
Third option: See if Culerity implements the Webrat API. Its README file says: "Culerity lets you (...) reuse existing Webrat-Style step definitions". Couldn't find much more than that though. Ideally, you would be able to switch backends with a config option or command-line argument without having to touch the step definitions.
Of course this would only work if you're not testing Javascript, which Culerity supports, but Webrat doesn't.
HI, have you looked at Capybara? It will allow you to use a variety of web drivers, and will allow you to test javascript-related features as well.
I think this is the one you are looking for. http://robots.thoughtbot.com/post/1658763359/thoughtbot-and-the-holy-grail
You can schedule the tests to run in Jenkins. Local machine Jenkins software is open source. You can get cucumber plugin in Jenkins so that you can achieve reporting part to your project on top of continuous test run
