Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Testing web services and APIs is a critical aspect of ensuring that applications function correctly and reliably in today's interconnected digital environment. SoapUI, a leading open-source testing tool, provides a comprehensive platform for performing functional, performance, and security testing of web services and APIs. With SoapUI, testers can create and execute automated tests, simulate web services, and validate responses to ensure that services meet specified requirements and standards. Whether working with SOAP, REST, or other web service protocols, SoapUI simplifies the testing process, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced testers to ensure robust and efficient API functionality.

The course focuses on empowering software professionals to adopt "shift left testing" by utilizing advanced features of SOAPUI, thereby enabling them to start testing earlier in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Participants will learn beginner-friendly, practical techniques applicable to both free and paid versions of SOAPUI. Commencing with an exploration of web services and APIs, the course progresses to familiarize participants with SOAPUI's features and capabilities. Practical sessions cover installation, setup, and configuration of SOAPUI across different operating systems. 

Participants will grasp SOAPUI concepts, create projects, test suites, and test cases, and execute REST API and SOAP tests. The course delves into scripting, working with properties, and employing assertions in SOAPUI. Functional testing, load testing, and security testing are extensively covered, encompassing creating and running tests, simulating various loads, executing security scans, and analyzing results. Participants will also learn about mocking SOAP and REST APIs, data-driven testing, and test automation using SOAPUI's TestRunner and Groovy Script. By the end of the course, participants will possess the skills to proficiently conduct web service and API testing using SOAPUI.
