Functional Testing
soapUI supports functional testing of Web Services by providing a TestCase metaphor where a number
of TestSteps can be executed in sequence. There are currently six types of TestSteps available providing
for rich testing possibilities. TestCases are further organized into TestSuites of which an arbitrary
number can be created within each project.
Functional testing in soapUI can be used for a variety of purposes:
- Unit testing : validate that each Web Service operation functions as stated
- Compliance testing : validate that the Web Service returns results compliant with its definition
- Process testing : validate that a sequence of web service invocations fulfill a required
business process
- Data Driven testing : validate that any of the above works as required with data input from external
sources (for example a database or another web service).
