This document discusses API testing using SoapUI NG. It covers the prerequisites and installation of SoapUI NG, what web services are, what SoapUI is, how to plan and prepare API tests in SoapUI, how to analyze APIs from the front end, how to run API functional test suites, and how to generate reports in SoapUI. The document provides information on the system requirements to run SoapUI and steps to create and execute API test cases using the SoapUI tool.

4. What are Web services
A Web Service can be defined by following ways:
 is a client server application or application
component for communication.
 method of communication between two devices
over network.
 is a software system for interoperable machine to
machine communication.
 is a collection of standards or protocols for
exchanging information between two devices or
application.

5. What is SoapUI
 SOAP UI is the leading open source cross-platform
API Testing tool
 SOAPUI allows testers to execute automated functional, coverage
test, data driven, and load tests on different Web API.
 SOAPUI supports all the standard protocols and technologies to
test all kinds of API's.
 SOAPUI interface is simple that enables both technical and non-
technical users to use seamlessly.

6. How to Analyze API’s From Front End
 Select Inspect by right clicking the window.
 Go to the Network Tab.
 Write API in search filter.
 All the API’s will be hit on that window.
 Some of the sub tabs are as:-
• Header
• Response
 Request Method
• GET
• POST
• DELETE
• PATCH

7. SoapUIWeb – Plan & Prepare
7
There are multiple ways to create a functional test in Ready! API. Steps to perform API testing:
1.Run ReadyAPI ! From desktop.
2.Open soapUI and Select File > New > Functional Test.
3.Select the URL option.
Steps to create API Functional Test in SoapUI Web

8. SoapUIWeb – Plan & Prepare
4. Enter the URL of REST service. We can specify multiple URLs to
create separate requests from.
5. We can create a single test case for all specified URLs or a
separate test case for each request:

9. Running API Functional Testing
 Right click on Test case and select Add steps.
 Select any Test step .
Test steps
•Data Sink
•Data Source
•Data Gen
•Data Loop
•Soap Request
•Rest Request
•Property
•Property Transfer
•Groovy Script

10. Running API Functional Testing
Run functional SoapUI Tests
 From UI
• Click to test case of project.
• On right hand side click on start.
• For stop click the stop button.
 From TestRunner GUI
To launch the runner from the ReadyAPI user interface, select the appropriate
menu command.
• In SoapUI, right-click the test case you need and select Launch TestRunner.

11. Running API Functional Testing
 Ready API displays a dialog box, where you can
configure the run parameters.
 Click on Launch, new dialog box display.

12. Running API Functional Testing
 Save File with .bat extension.
 Double click the batch file.

13. Reports
 Results are displayed in SoapUI by adding a
step Data Sink
 Results are displayed in excel sheet with
extension of .csv format for future.
 Response time headers are also added to
check the response Time of each API that are
running in Soap UI.
