In this blog, lets discuss about how to do Data Driven In Soap UI using Excel file and follow the steps Soap Ui to generate data and run the Test Case.
Ready API
ReadyAPI is an easy-to-use no-code API Testing platform designed to streamline your testing workflows. Automate and scale your end-to-end tests across multiple API types. Run compatible load tests against your functional tests. Enable virtualization to ensure fast and reliable integrations for your development teams.
Data driven testing
In this blog lets learns how to do Data Driven Testing
Run test case with multiple set of data and maintain the data in Excel , Notepad, JSON, XML,,. Use that data as an input for our Request
Different types of Data Source Types
Data Connection
Data Generator
Excel
File
JDBC
Grid
Groovy
JSON
XML
Directory
we can do Data driven using following Sources
Data Driven Testing Using Text File
Data Driven Testing Using Grid
Data Driven Testing Using Data Generator
Data Driven Testing Using JDBC(MySQL Database)
Data Driven testing using Excel
Send Request with multiple set of Data like Countries, for each country ,we will Verify ISO code is correct or not .
Excel Sheet
Countries | ISO Code |
Argentina | AR |
Australia | AU |
Belgium | BE |
Brazil | BR |
Colombia | CO |
Download SoapUI Pro
After downloading
In Ready API
Go to file , click New Empty Project
Give Project Name as FootballSoap
When you click Project FootballSoap , you will be asked to Create or Import API , select Import API
Give the WSDL URL
https://ws.footballpool.dataaccess.eu/info.wso?wsdl
select WSDL Definition ( SOAP)
Advanced option , select Create Sample requests for all operations and click Import API
API is downloaded
Right click InfoSoapBinding and click New Test Suite
Create New Test Suite
Select one Request for countries
Give name for Test Suite
Test Suite with Test Case and Request will be created as shown
Click the countries Request , you will see XML code for the request - ? is parameter to be passed
Write India as Parameter and click send or run icon , You will get Response with ISO Code for India
Now we are going to do Data Driven Testing , where we are going to give set of country name with ISO Code through Excel and verify the Corresponding ISO Code for each country
So Data Source here is Excel file
Once you add Data Source , you will find the structure on left side which will have
Test Suite
Test Case
Countries
Data Source
Click + to add Properties
Now we have to add properties , so click green + button to add properties
CountryName
ISO Code
You can see the properties has been added
Now we are going to add Excel file , select excel from Data Source dropdown
It will ask Do You want to import properties ? , click No , as we have added the properties manually
It will give as this setting to fill about the excel details
Give excel sheet path
Sheet Name : Sheet1
Give A2 , as from A2 we have the data , A1 has headings
Now Click the green run icon to download all data from Excel file
It will pop up with this message
5 means , 5 rows in excel ....
Enter 0 , 0 means all rows in excel
Once You click Ok , all the details from excel sheet will be downloaded into soap UI , you will be seeing below all the details are added
Now we have to repeat the request multiple times , so we are going to put Request in Loop , so add Data Source Loop
Select Data Source Loop
Give any name and Click OK
Once data source loop is added , you ca see the structure as below
You have to arrange by drag in this order
Data Source - data is taken from data source
Countries Request - request
Data source loop - run request in loop
To take countries name from data source , click Data source loop and select
Data Source Step : Data source
Target Step : Countries
Add Data Source Loop
Take data from source for the Countries Request
You will see this page , click the Input box or ... dots
Now we have to set the flow as below to get Country name from data source and click Add
Once u add , it will appear like this ${Data Source#Country Name}
Click XML , you can see the parameters has been changed
Now we have to verify the ISO Code from response
Go to response , right click on ISO Code and click Validate
It will move to Assertion Page
you will see the xpath of the ISO Code from XML in XPath Expression
You will be seeing IN in expected Result , we have to Verify result for all the countries mentioned in Data source Excel , so right click Select Content and follow the flow and select Property ISO Code
Once you have given the Data source for ISO Code , it will appear as below in Expected Result
Click Save
So we have to run the whole Test Case multiple times , so go to Countries Test Case left side and click , you will see the below image
Click Run Icon in green button
So now Data Driven for multiple data with single request is done
You can see Transaction Log , for each request , it will run Data source , Countries , Data source Loop
Conclusion:
I hope, This article will help you to understand How to do Data Driven Testing Using Excel in Soap UI Pro.
