Automating webservices testing with SOAPUI

[reachme guru]

Hi, i am using SOAPUI for testing the webservices. But as of now they are individual requests, the criterias are providing manually. But i want to automate this process for some complex situations.

So is there any way that i can get the input criteria dynamically?

Thanks!

It is simply possible by using a Groovy, a properties step and a datasource; analyse the previous response using a groovy script step and using the result of your analysing and some xml or configuration file, decide about the next step input values which can be read from a database using datasource. take a look at:

Hi Masoud, thanks for your reply.
I will give a try and let you know. BTW, If you have a small working example ... please share it. That would be more handy.

Thanks!!!
