Mastering SoapUI

Chapter 2. Functional Testing In Detail

In the previous chapter we learnt how to configure SoapUI to test the services functionally, in this chapter we will cover the following topics in detail

  • Service orchestration and testing it using SoapUI
  • Assertions
  • Configuring SoapUI for JMS Services using Hermes JMS
  • Real time example of testing a service orchestration

Service orchestration

When services act in a manner that serves a business purpose which results in a business process being completed, it's known as service orchestration. It directly addresses the implementation of business process implementation. It actually binds business logic and data exchange between applications together so that the desired flow is met.

From another point of view, it can also be said that service orchestration arranges services so that they look like a single service meant to complete a single flow.

To achieve service orchestration, every service involved in orchestration shares data among themselves where sometimes an output of one service acts as an input to the other.

But it should be noted that individual services are not designed to communicate with each other, messages should be exchanged based on certain business rules and execution sequence. To provide communication between all applications in SOA we have the concept of Enterprise Application Integration...

Property transfer

We have seen in our pre examples that in service orchestration, response parameter data of one service may become essential for the other service. Therefore, we would need to transfer the necessary data from a response to another request. To achieve the data transfer between services we use property transfer.

To add property transfer as a test step, repeat the steps as shown previously to add a groovy script and finally, when you reach the window where you have all the steps listed, select the following step:

Property transfer

You will then find the Property Transfer configuration window:

Property transfer

In the preceding window you need to configure the following:

  • Source: Test step which is the source of the data to be transferred
  • Property: Usually the response which has the response parameter data to be transferred
  • Path language: XPath for a single node of the same parameter name, X query for a multiple data set with the same parameter name, and JSON for a REST API using JSON message exchange format
  • Target:...

Assertions

Assertions are validations which are used to validate whether the system is working as expected or not.

SoapUI provides you with a variety of assertions, let's have a look at each one of them by category:

  • Property Content: This assertion type is used to validate the parameter data returned in response by the service
    • XPath Match: This assertion is used to match a particular node value in the response with the expected values
      Assertions
    • XQuery Match: When you want to validate multiple sets of values from the response, XQuery Match is used to validate multiple parameters of data in the response in a single assertion
    Assertions

In the preceding example there is an XML which has multiple price tags and the tester wants to retrieve all the prices from an XML response.

So the XQuery searches in every item and returns all the prices for each Item.

  • Contains: This assertion is used to validate if a particular value or string exists in the response or supports wildcards
    Assertions
  • NotContains: This assertion is to make sure...

Configuring SoapUI for JMS services using Hermes JMS

Web services use multiple protocols for transport, for example, HTTP or JMS. Communication can also be different, for example, Soap or JSON. So let's go configure JMS for different middleware like Tibco,Oracle SOA, IBM WebSphere.

To configure JMS in SoapUI we have a utility called Hermes JMS to help us configure JMS in our test.

Following are the steps to configure Hermes JMS in SoapUI:

  1. Open HermesJMS from the Tools option on the top and select HermesJMS:
    Configuring SoapUI for JMS services using Hermes JMS
  2. Verify that HermesJMS will open on your desktop:
    Configuring SoapUI for JMS services using Hermes JMS
  3. Configuring a session: Select a New Session:
    Configuring SoapUI for JMS services using Hermes JMS
  4. Configuring a New session: On selection of a new session, verify that the Preferences window comes up:
    Configuring SoapUI for JMS services using Hermes JMS
  5. On the Preferences window select the Providers tab.
    Configuring SoapUI for JMS services using Hermes JMS
  6. On selection of a New Group add the Jars based on the middleware used, for example, for Tibco, use the following JARS:
    • Tibemsd.JAR
    • Tibjms.jar
    • Tibjmsadmin.jar
  7. For Active MQ use the following:
    • com.ibm.mq.pcf-6.1.jar
    • com.ibm.mq.jar
    • com.ibm.mqjms.jar
    • dhbcore...

Groovy script

This groovy script lets you create a JMS endpoint and sends messages to queues using Groovy script:

import com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.submit.transports.jms.JMSConnectionHolder;
import com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.submit.transports.jms.util.HermesUtils;
import com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.submit.transports.jms.JMSEndpoint;
import hermes.Hermes;
import javax.jms.*;
def jmsEndpoint = new  JMSEndpoint("jms://activeMQSession::queue_testQ1::queue_testQ1");
def hermes = HermesUtils.getHermes( context.testCase.testSuite.project, jmsEndpoint.sessionName);
def jmsConnectionHolder = new JMSConnectionHolder( jmsEndpoint, hermes, false, null ,null ,null);
Session queueSession = jmsConnectionHolder.getSession();
Queue queueSend = jmsConnectionHolder.getQueue( jmsConnectionHolder.getJmsEndpoint().getSend() );
Queue queueBrowse = jmsConnectionHolder.getQueue( jmsConnectionHolder.getJmsEndpoint().getReceive() );
MessageProducer messageProducer =queueSession.createProducer( queueSend...

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
