SoapUI

SoapUI is the world’s leading functional testing tool for SOAP and REST testing. With its easy-to-use graphical interface and enterprise-class features, SoapUI allows you to easily and rapidly create and execute automated functional, regression, and load tests. In a single test environment, SoapUI provides complete test coverage, from SOAP and REST-based web services to JMS enterprise messaging layers, databases, Rich Internet Applications, and much more.

SoapUI Extension for VSTS

This extension can be used to run SoapUI scripts or to make SoapUI available for other tasks (as an environment variable).

The SoapUI version used is version 5.4

Using the SoapUI Extension

  • Get the extension from the VSTS Marketplace
  • You will have 2 tasks: SOAPUI or SoapUI-Include
  • In your build definition, add the task SoapUI 
    • Select your project (and arguments)
    • If you add the argument -j (default value), this task will produce JUnit reports, which you can then send to VSTS/TFS using the task [Publish Test Results]. Use -f to mention where your report will be extracted.
    • Docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/build-release/tasks/test/publish-test-results
  • Or, add the task SoapUI-Include 
    • This will create an environment variable called SOAPUI_EXE that you can use in the following tasks:

SOAP UI Task.

Test Result Task.

Build Dashboard.

What Is Added in This Extension?

  • POI.jar (Apache POI to generate consolidated reports)
  • jxl.jar (to fetch data at runtime from input xls)
  • SQLJDBC42.jar (to establish a connection to Azure SQL DB for validations

These JARs don’t come as part of standard SoapUI JARs.

Availability

This extension is publicly available on the VSTS Marketplace. The build number is automatically incremented on each commit by the VSTS Build task by a pattern, like “0.0.$(Build.BuildId)”. See the documentation for reference.

Sample File

You can use SOAPUI.xml. Download it here.

License

This extension is published under the MIT license (see license file).
