The document provides an overview of HP Service Test 11 for testing Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) applications. It discusses the key features of Service Test 11 including the visual test designer, support for multiple technologies like web services and REST, flexible data handling, and extensibility. It also provides examples of using Service Test 11 to test web services and REST services, set input data and checkpoints, run tests in multiple iterations, and integrate with other HP products like Unified Functional Testing.

What is Service Test 11 (ST 11)
– Service Test (ST) is HP’s framework for testing Service Oriented Architecture
(SOA) applications.
– Service Test is an extensibility framework for construction and execution of
functional test of headless systems that do not have a user interface.
– Supports functional testing areas like:
• WSDL based WebServices
• RESTful WebServices
• JMS
• Java Classes
– The current version of Service test has been totally redesigned.

What is New with Service Test 11
– Visual Test Designer
• A totally new redesigned engine and interface. A canvas creating and configuring
a visual representation of the steps in a test. Tests are created by dragging
activities from a toolbox, and configuring their properties.
– Multiple Technologies
• Web Services, REST, .NET, Java, and more
– Flexible Data Handling
• Ability to link to a variety of data sources, or store data locally with the test.
Support for Excel data sheets.
– Extensibility
• Behavior of existing activities can be customized using event handlers. For
greater control over the flow of a test, you can program code activities at any point.

Web Service Overview
The term Web services describes a
standardized way of integrating Web-
based applications using the XML,
SOAP, WSDL and UDDI open
standards over an Internet protocol
backbone. XML is used to tag the
data, SOAP is used to transfer the
data, WSDL is used for describing the
services available and UDDI is used
for listing all the available services
Figure shows the class diagram of
Web Service Architecture

11. ©2009 HP Confidential template rev. 12.15.0911 ©2009 HP Confidential11
Working with Web Services /WSDL
Basic Steps to work with web service
– Importing Web Service using the URL / UDDI or File/ALM /QC
– Drag the required activity into the canvas
– Assign input data
– Set checkpoints to verify the response
– Check the output for responses and checkpoint validations

REST Service Overview
REST (Representational State
Transfer) is an approach for
getting information content from a
Web site by reading a designated
Web page that contains an XML
(Extensible Markup Language)
file that describes and includes
the desired Service content.
REST is an "architectural style"
that basically exploits the existing
technology and protocols of the
Web, including HTTP (Hypertext
Transfer Protocol) and XML.
REST interface is defined by the
HTTP interface, which supports
four basic application methods:
GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.

19. ©2009 HP Confidential template rev. 12.15.0919 ©2009 HP Confidential19
Working with REST Services
Basic Steps to work with REST Service
– Select Rest Services from the Toolbox pane
– Add a Resource under Rest Service
– Add a Method under the Rest Service Resource
– Drag and Drop the method to the canvas Test flow
– Assign input data
– Set checkpoints to verify the response

Test Settings
To implement Java Call with Service Test, we need to implement
Service Test Java interface
Interface contains three methods:
1. getInputProperties
2. getOutputProperties.
3. Execute
Implement Interface
 ServiceTestCall.java, is located in the
<ST_INSTALL_HOME>addinsServiceTestJavaCa
llJava Interfacesrchpstextjava folder.
 Called ServiceTestCallImpl.java
