Here is what I have in mind:
A user wants to create a new test of a SOAP-based Web Service.
1) The user runs TestMaker 5.
2) From the new tool bar the user clicks New Scalability Test.
3) A dialog appears with buttons for: SOAP-based Web Service Test,
Web Browser-based Test, Generic Scalability Test. The user clicks
SOAP-based Web Service Test.
4) TestMaker opens a file selector and asks the user to enter the
path to a new directory. The user enters ~/mytest
5) TestMaker creates a new TestScenario.xml file in ~/mytest with the
name as the directory plus scalabilitytest. So the user finds ~/
mytest/mytest_scalabilitytest.xml. TestMaker opens the test scenario
in the Controller panel.
6) TestMaker launches soapui. (There may be a warning dialog here
saying "Ready to run soapui, Yes,Cancel" as a convenience.)
7) soapui automatically creates a new soapui WSDL project (same as
using the soapui File -> New WSDL Project command) named mytest, with
mytest-soapui-project.xml stored in ~/mytest
8) soapui shows the mytest project in the left panel Projects tree.
9) The user right-clicks on the mytest project and chooses Add WSDL
from URL. The user enters http://examples.pushtotest.com/axis/
services/MessageService?wsdl. The user chooses "yes" to the Create
Default Requests For All Operations.
10) soapui shows the mytest -> MessageService -> echoElements ->
Request 1 in the Projects panel. (Note: the user needs to expand the
nodes in mytest to see this view.)
11) The user right-clicks on Request 1 and chooses Open Request
Editor. soap displays the request in the right panel. The request
looks like this:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
envelope/" xmlns:mes="http://message.samples">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<mes:echoElements>?</mes:echoElements>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
12) The user replaces the ? in <mes:echoElements> with a test value
of "my_test_string" so the request now looks like this:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
envelope/" xmlns:mes="http://message.samples">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<mes:echoElements>my_test_string</mes:echoElements>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
13) The user may test this request by clicking the "Submit request to
specified endpoint URL" icon in the upper left portion of the request
panel.
14) The user right-clicks on the Request 1 in the Projects panel and
chooses "Add to TestCase".
15) soapui asks for the name of a new test suite. The user enters
myTestSuite. soapui then asks for the name of the new test case. The
user enters myTestCase. The user then chooses the default values and
clicks OK to the "Add Request to TestCase" dialog.
16) The user changes to TestMaker and clicks the 'edit' icon from the
mytest TestScenario in the Controller window. The mytest file appears
in the editor panel.
17) The user adds the following to the mytest scenario:
<resources>
<soapui path="~/mytest/mytest-soapui-project.xml">
</resources>
<testusecase>
<run name="mysoapuitest" testclass="myTestSuite"
method="myTestCase" langtype="soapui"/>
</testusecase>
18) The user clicks the Run icon in the Controller panel.
19) TestMaker operates the mytest scenario as normal. It instantiates
a thread and uses the soapui test runner to execute myTestCase in
myTestSuite. The normal TestMaker parameters are available. For
instance, the following:
<testusecase>
<crlevels>
<crlevel value="10"/>
<crlevel value="20"/>
</crlevels>
<run name="mysoapuitest" testclass="myTestSuite"
method="myTestCase" langtype="soapui"/>
</testusecase>
In the above example, TestMaker instantiates 10 threads and
continuously operates the soapui test runner to run the MyTestSuite
myTestCase for the duration of a test. It then ends the 10 threads,
pauses, and then instantiates 20 threads and continuously operates
the soapui test runner.
And, our course, all the other benefits of TestMaker are available,
including running the test on a distributed grid of TestMaker
TestNodes, operating the MyTestSuite as a service monitor, charts of
the results, resource monitoring as the test runs, etc.
What I have not figured out is how the TestMaker Data Production
Library will provide data to the myTestCase at run time. For
instance, TestMaker users should be able to do:
<testusecase>
<run name="mysoapuitest" testclass="myTestSuite"
method="myTestCase" langtype="soapui">
<argument name="value1" value="my new test value"/>
</run>
</testusecase>
Perhaps we could modify soapui to have a variable insert mechanism in
its test runner? For instance, in the above example the user opens
Request 1 and changes the request to:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
envelope/" xmlns:mes="http://message.samples">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<mes:echoElements>{$value1}</mes:echoElements>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
and at runtime the soapui test runner replaces the {$value1} with:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
envelope/" xmlns:mes="http://message.samples">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<mes:echoElements>my new test value</mes:echoElements>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
What do you think?
