SoapUI

warning

Features described in this document are being deprecated as part of the transition to Test Workflows - Read More.

SoapUI is an open-source tool used for the end-to-end testing of REST, SOAP and GraphQL APIs, as well as JMS, JDBC and other web services. Testkube supports the SoapUI executor implementation.

  • Default command for this executor: /bin/sh /usr/local/SmartBear/EntryPoint.sh
  • Default arguments for this executor command: <runPath>

Parameters in <> are calculated at test execution:

  • <runPath> - path to the test files

See more at "Redefining the Prebuilt Executor Command and Arguments" on the Creating Test page.

Check out our blog post to follow tutorial steps to Learn how to run functional tests in Kubernetes with SoapUI and Testkube.

Testkube supports the SoapUI executor implementation.

Running a SoapUI Test​

In order to run a SoapUI test using Testkube, begin by creating a Testkube Test.

An example of an exported SoapUI test looks the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<con:soapui-project xmlns:con="http://eviware.com/soapui/config" id="68931eeb-521d-4870-972f-9d0f99c75cc2" activeEnvironment="Default" name="Testkube project" resourceRoot="${projectDir}" soapui-version="5.7.0" abortOnError="false" runType="SEQUENTIAL">

Using Files as Input​

Testkube and the SoapUI executor accept a project file as input.

$ kubectl testkube create test --file example-project.xml --type soapui/xml --name example-test
Test created  / example-test 🥇

Using Strings as Input​

$ cat example-project.xml | kubectl testkube create test --type soapui/xml --name example-test-string
Test created  / example-test-string 🥇

Running the Tests​

To run the created test, use:

$ kubectl testkube run test example-test

Type          : soapui/xml
Name          : example-test
Execution ID  : 624eedd443ed8485ae9289e2
Execution name: illegally-credible-mouse



Test execution started

Watch test execution until complete:
$ kubectl testkube watch execution 624eedd443ed8485ae9289e2


Use following command to get test execution details:
$ kubectl testkube get execution 624eedd443ed8485ae9289e2

Using Parameters and Arguments in Your Tests​

SoapUI lets you configure your test runs using different parameters. To see all available command line arguments, check the official SoapUI docs.

To use parameters when working with Testkube, use the kubectl testkube run command with the --args parameter.

An example would be:

$ kubectl testkube run test -f example-test --args '-I -c "Testkube TestCase"'

Type          : soapui/xml
Name          : successful-test
Execution ID  : 625404e5a4cc6d2861193c60
Execution name: currently-amused-pug

Reports, Plugins and Extensions​

In order to use reports, add the plugins and extensions as described in the SoapUI docs. This is currently not supported by Testkube. If you are interested in using this feature, please create an issue in the Testkube repository.
