What is a WebService? Bluntly speaking, when two devices need to talk to each other and exchange information over a network, the interface used to communicate between them is called a web service Typically a web service comprises of two components: a Service Provider (or Publisher) and a Service Requestor (or Consumer) ©1996-2016 Aspire Systems, Inc. US | UK | BENELUX | ME | IND

Types of WebServices Big web services – these are largely based on the SOAP standard protocol Uses a communication language called Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) RESTful web services – which is an architectural style, whereas SOAP is a protocol Some of the examples of REST standards are HTTP (yes, our world wide web is built on REST standard), XML, URI and MIME, etc. ©1996-2014 Aspire Systems, Inc.

Request and response Interacting with a web service is a two-fold process: we request for desired data; the service responds to our request This kind of simple interaction is called a ‘GET’ method, where the service only transfers information When there is a need for more than a simple retrieve process – like adding an entry to the Database – we can choose the ‘POST’ method that will require us to send a ‘Request Body’ along with the ‘Request URL’ When there is a need to update your data, we can opt for a ‘PUT’ method that instructs the web service to update an existing entry And lastly, when there is a need to erase data, we go for the ‘DELETE’ method ©1996-2014 Aspire Systems, Inc.

In SoapUI, the hierarchy is as follows: Project Test Suite Test Case Project hierarchy Once a Project name is entered, the new Project gets displayed in the Navigator pane. This is the area that lists the Project hierarchy. In SoapUI, the hierarchy is as follows: Project Test Suite Test Case Test Step ©1996-2014 Aspire Systems, Inc. US | UK | BENELUX | ME | IND

Being assertive Assertions are checkpoints that decide the pass/fail status of a test step. SoapUI gives us the ability to assert the response from validating the HTTP status code to performing complex looped assertions for every entry in the response body. The assertions in SoapUI are only limited by our ability to handle the scenario with Groovy scripts. ©1996-2014 Aspire Systems, Inc. US | UK | BENELUX | ME | IND
