A sample test scenario
We have built a sample hotel reservation system in Chapter 2, The Sample Project, and invoked one of its services in Chapter 3, First Steps with soapUI and Projects. However, we did not do a complete end-to-end workflow with our system. Let's think about the following scenario:
A new guest has arrived to the hotel. An operator of the hotel reservation system registers the new guest in system, looks for a room, and reserves it for the guest.
This is the preliminary use case of our sample system. All three web services which we discussed previously, GuestManagementService
, RoomManagementService
, and ReservationService
take part in this scenario. How are we going to test this particular scenario using soapUI? Will it be enough to create a project and add SOAP requests to execute the relevant operations of each web service individually, as we did in Chapter 3, First Steps with soapUI and Projects?
The answer will be yes, if we need to execute this particular scenario once...
