• The course assumes knowledge and experience with programming in languages such as Java, C#, Python and others.

• Expert interpretation with practical examples, exercises on computers.

• Printed presentations of the discussed material.

Introduction and basic concepts

• Testing
• REST API (JSON, OpenAPI, YAML)
• Web services (XML, XSD, WSDL)
• Architecture and functionality of the tested application
• SoapUI tools environment

What SoapUI can do

• Manual entry
• Assertions

Parameterization of SoapUI projects

• Global and context parameters
• Saving and using parameters across tests

API simulation

• Generating Mock service
• Generating responses
• Answer selection logic
• Parameterization of responses

Stress tests

• Load test generation
• Stress test strategy
• Evaluation of results
• Scripting

What is Groovy

• Useful scripts
• Using scripts in test scenarios

Continuous Integration

Running tests from the command line
