4. XPath Match Assertion
The XPath Match assertion allows specification of an XPath expression to be evaluated against the received response message and compare its result to a predefined value.
Expressions can select everything from attribute values, make Boolean evaluations or select the entire response body.
XmlUnit is used internally for comparing xml elements, nodes or hierarchies

5. XPath Assertion Examples
Example1 - Validate that the result contains how many hits
declare namespace ns1=' count(//ns1:Item)
Example2 - Validate that the ProductGroup element always is "Book“
declare namespace ns1=' count(//ns1:ProductGroup[text()!='Book'])
Example3 -Validate that DetailPageURL always starts with '
declare namespace ns1=' count(//ns1:DetailPageURL) = count(//ns1:DetailPageURL[starts-with(text(), '

6. XQuery Match Assertion
Study XQuery First

7. XQuery Match Assertion
The XQuery Match assertions is configured exactly like the XPath Math assertion described above.
Difference being that the specified expression is evaluated as an XQuery expression instead
This assertion is useful when you want to assert a subset of your data and for example not be dependent on other data, the data order, etc

8. Script Assertion – Using Groovy script editor
Script Assertion allows for arbitrary validations
Script has access to the following objects:
messageExchange : Message Exchange for the current request/response. Gives direct access to message content, HTTP Headers, Attachments, etc.
context : TestRunContext running the current TestCase, this will for now always be an instance of WsdlTestRunContext
log : a standard log4j Logger object available for logging arbitrary information

9. Examples Validate a certain response time
assert messageExchange.timeTaken < 400
Validate existence of a response HTTP Header
assert messageExchange.responseHeaders["x-amz-id-1"] != null
Validate the existence of a specific element using GroovyUtils
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context ) def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( messageExchange.responseContent ) assert holder["//ns1:RequestId"] != null

10. WS-Addressing Response Assertion
Validates that the response has valid WS-A header properties.

11. WS-Addressing Request Assertion
Validates that the request has valid WS-A header properties
