Jim,

Thank you so much ~ I have more of an understanding, though I wish I knew more about soap and API testing. I'm new to back-end testing, sadly I'm in an environment that all Dev's are taxed and no one to help. I'm stuck in learning this from scratch.

I'm learning SOAPUI but it's painfully slow, I know nothing about XPath, Groovy ... so other than the fact they should hire you and fire me - Will the pro-version support in essence "hold my hand" from soup to nuts?

Thank you!

Hi!

thanks for this! The recently released soapUI 3.5 beta has built in AMF support making this usage scenario much easier to implement. Have a look at www.soapui.org/.../amf-tutorial.html to get started with it and please report any issues you might have in our forum.

cheers!

Anna, thanks for the comment. As the project discussed in the blog post was done under contract for a client, unfortunately we cannot post the test specification or sample code from the project as you suggested. The blog post was our best effort to distill the our experiences with SoapUI. We do have a fairly standardized test methodology that we use for API testing that involves things such as boundary testing, illegal values, default settings, transaction rollback, etc. Perhaps the biggest challenge (and our greatest value add) is to design a test that strikes the right balance between the test implementation costs and test coverage.

Will it be possible for you to post your project or part of it, so that we can check the different ways you have created your test-suites and assertions?

I find your comments really useful and always keep an eye on what you have to say. It's incredibly useful to have a network of blogs to keep up-to-date and evolve as a testing professional. I'm currently looking at agile testing on my blog: testtothemax.blogspot.com

Intriguing prototype, Jim. Can't wait to read about your transition of localhikes.com to the Mindtouch wiki.

We're planning some hikes into the Sequioa National Park (Twin Lakes campground) this July and will look to report back via your site. Thanks for all you do to provide this great hiking resource!

Thanks for the write up! I'm excited to read you'll be chronicling the project. This will be helpful to MindTouch, Inc and other users of MindTouch software. I hope you'll consider also guest blogging at MindTouch a couple times too.
