API Testing: The heart of functional testing" with Bj RollisonTEST Huddle
View webinar: http://www.eurostarconferences.com/community/member/webinar-archive/webinar-81-api-testing-the-heart-of-functional-testing
An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a collection of functions that provide much of the functional capabilities in complex software systems. Most customers are accustomed to interacting with a graphical user interface on the computer. But, many customers do not realize the much of the functionality of a program comes from APIs in the operating system or program's dynamic-link libraries (DLL). So, if the business logic or core functionality is exposed via an API call then and if we want to find functional bugs sooner than API testing may be an approach that provides additional value in your overall test strategy. Additionally, API testing can start even before the user interface is complete so functional capabilities can be tested while designers are hashing out the "look and feel." API testing will not replace testing through the user interface, but it can augment your test strategy and provide a solid foundation of automated tests that increase your confidence in the functional quality of your product.

Web services automation workshop sreedhar dakshinamurthyvodQA
SOAP based web services allow for communication between applications over the internet in a platform and language independent manner. While SOAP UI is commonly used to test SOAP web services, it has limitations like being non-IDE based, having limited debugging capabilities, and requiring proprietary licensing. Developing a test framework using an object-oriented language like Java addresses these limitations by providing an open source and modular approach that more easily integrates with continuous integration and allows for more flexible request/response assertions compared to XML-based testing in SOAP UI.
The document discusses two main standards for web services - REST and SOAP. It provides details on how each one works and how data is handled. It also outlines steps for building a framework for web service automation, including creating classes to represent requests and responses, a SOAP client, and tests to validate responses. Examples of requests and responses are given for login and user creation operations.

Introduction to using SpecFlow tool for testing REST API. For beginners that are at least a bit familiar with test automation, and gives some details and hints.
For those that have done any kind of web services development, soapUI is a great tool to have in the arsenal. After adding a WSDL to a project, soapUI will stub out requests, which I often use as a testing facility to validate the request/response messages that I am to code against. The hurdle to using soapUI with Agile is the authentication mechanism they chose to employ. Some systems such as BI will have a separate service to authenticate, then a sessionID can be passed around for subsequent calls, but Agile is not architected this way. Instead they chose to use the WWW-Authenticate header passed in the request. This blog will show you how to set up soapUI so it authenticates and allows you to test your Agile PLM service calls.
Description- SOAtest is a testing and analysis tool suite for testing and validating APIs and API-driven applications (e.g., cloud, mobile apps, SOA).[1] Basic testing functionality include functional security testing, simulation and mocking, runtime error detection, web services testing, interoperability testing, WS-* compliance testing, and load testing
As an organization grows, the body of code that needs to be regression tested constantly increases. However, to maintain high velocity and deliver new features, teams need to minimize the amount of manual regression testing. Eric Smith shares his lessons learned in automating RESTful API tests using JMeter, RSpec, and Spock. Gain insights into the pros and cons of each tool, take back practical knowledge about the tools available, and explore reasons why your shop should require RESTful automation as part of its acceptance test criteria. Many decisions must be made to automate API tests: choosing the platform; how to integrate with the current build and deploy process; and how to integrate with reporting tools to keep key stakeholders informed. Although the initial transition caused his teams to bend their traditional roles, Eric says that ultimately the team became more cross-functionally aligned and developed a greater sense of ownership for delivering a quality product.
SoapUI is a free and open source tool for testing web services. It allows users to create test suites, test cases, and test steps to test web services.

2. Introduction
SOAP and REST services: main QA aspects
Compliance to protocols’ standards
Functional testing
• API functions tests with supported parameters range
• Negative tests
Security testing
Load and Performance testing
Usability testing
Documentation and Logging
Most of these types can be tested with soapUI.
• It supports SOAP, REST and regular Web services via HTTP protocol
• It has a multi-OS test-runner that can be integrated into a build server
3. Main elements
Available elements of a soapUI project
Web Service Description Language (.wsdl) file
• A default config element for Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) services
Web Application Description Language (.wadl) file
• A default config element for REpresentation State Transfer (REST) services
REST Service
• A config element of a REST service, created manually
Mock Service
• A config element of a Stub Service that can emulate several operations (see
below)
Test Suite
• An element containing Test Cases and Web Test Cases (see below)
• Can contain Setup and TearDown scripts
4. Test Cases
What types of Test Cases does soapUI support?
Test Case
• A set of requests to any service/server
• Includes test steps, load tests and security tests
• Can contain Setup and TearDown scripts
Web Test Case
• A set of requests to a web server with support of HTTP recording
• Includes test steps, load tests and security tests
• Can contain Setup and TearDown scripts
5. Test Steps
What types of Test Steps does soapUI support?
Test Request – a request to a SOAP service
REST Test Request – a request to a REST service
HTTP Test Request – a request to a HTTP server
JDBC Request – a query to a Database
Property Transfer – a special step allowing to transfer parameters between
other Test Steps
Groovy Script – a script that can do any action
Delay – a pause
Conditional Goto – goes to a given step if an XPath expression applied to the
previous step returns true; otherwise goes to the next step
Security Test – a test request with specific parameters and assertions
Load Test – a set of test requests with specific statistics
Etc…
6. Main testing cycle
How are most of test cases written?
Parameters Test Request
Assertions
Property
Transfer
Parameters
• Three-level hierarchy: Project level, Test Suite level, Test Case level
• Accessible from Property Transfer elements, from Groovy Scripts and from any
place as expressions ${#Level#Name}
7. Main testing cycle
What elements are in Test Requests?
Resource/Method (for SOAP/REST requests) or EndPoint (for Web request)
A list of pre-defined parameters with values:
• Template parameters – <endpoint>/<path>/val1/val2
• Query parameters – <endpoint>/<path>?par1=val1&par2=val2
• Matrix parameters – <endpoint>/<path>;par1=val1,val2
• Header parameters – par1: val1
Accept Header
Content-Type Header (for requests with content)
Additional Headers and Assertions (see below)
Etc…
Response – a result of a request, which can be presented in XML, JSON, HTML or
Raw format
8. Main testing cycle
What are main types of assertions?
Assertions
• Contains / Not Contains – checks if a response contains / does not contain a given
fragment. Allows regular expressions
• XPath Match – checks if a part of a response, obtained using XPath query, equals
to a given fragment. Allows wildcards
• XQuery Match – checks if a part of a response, obtained using XQuery expression,
equals to a given fragment. Allows wildcards
• Valid HTTP Status Codes / Invalid HTTP Status Codes – allows to specify a list of
valid / invalid response codes
• Script Assertion – allows to check any response element using a groovy script
• Etc…
9. Main testing cycle
XQuery assertion?
Supports XPath and XML insertions
Can convert nodes to attributes and vice versa
Can return a part of xml tree
Allows sorting
Has a recurrent structure
10. Main testing cycle
How to transfer properties?
Property Transfer
• Can transfer fragments of a test request object to pre-created parameters (in its
hierarchy) or directly to another request
• Can use XPath or XQuery when transferring, or transfer the whole response
• Can transfer text content of a node or an XML tree
• Supports JSON responses as well as XML ones
Using Groovy Scripts for transferring properties
• Can transfer wider set of values
• Can transfer to any pre-created parameter
11. Security tests
SQL Injection : tries to exploit bad database integration coding.
statement = "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `name` = '" + userName + "';“
userName = ' or '1'='1
XPath Injection : tries to exploit bad XML processing inside your target service
String xpathQuery = "//user[name/text()='" + request.get("username") + "' And
password/text()='" + request.get("password") + "']";
userName = lol' or 1=1 or 'a'='a
Boundary Scan/Ivalid types : tries to exploit bad handling of values that are outside of
defined ranges or of different type, e.g.:
xsd:min, xsd:max, xsd:length, xsd:minInclusive, xsd:maxInclusive, xsd:minExclusive,
xsd:maxExclusive, xsd:totalDigits, xsd:fractionDigits
Continuation on the next page…
What attacks are you able to simulate?
12. Security tests
Malformed XML : tries to exploit bad handling of invalid XML on your server or in your
service
XML Bomb : tries to exploit bad handling of malicious XML request (be careful)
Malicious Attachment : tries to exploit bad handling of attached files
• Corrupted or very large files intended to make the server to crash.
• Files containing code that is harmful for the server or server to execute/parse, i.e. a
virus targeted at the server.
The Malicious Attachment Security Scan allows generation of corrupt files as well as
attachment of user-selected files.
Continuation on the next page…
What attacks are you able to simulate?
13. Security tests
Cross Site Scripting (XSS): tries to find cross-site scripting vulnerabilities
Custom Script : allows you to use a script for generating custom parameter fuzzing
values
• The Custom Scan follows the basic model of the other parameter-based Security
Scans but requires you to specify a script (Groovy, Javascript or Java) that will
provide the values to send for each permutation, giving you maximum flexibility
with how you can provoke your target services.
e.g.: fuzzling test
What attacks are you able to simulate?
14. Performance tests
Validation of:
• speed
• scalability
• stability characteristics
Key types of performance tests
It’s all about the load model that you choose…
What are performance tests aiming at?
By means of assessing:
• response times
• throughput
• resource-utilization levels
Term Purpose
Performance test To determine or validate speed, scalability, and/or stability.
Load test
To verify application behavior under normal and peak load
conditions.
Stress test
To determine or validate an application’s behavior when it
is pushed beyond normal or peak load conditions.
Capacity test
To determine how many users and/or transactions a given
system will support and still meet performance goals.
16. Performance tests
And so what? Assertions!
We allowed a max response of one second, 1000 milliseconds. And we see
that number of errors is growing since responses take much more time.
Create more complicated strategies and models, take reports, it’s all in soapUI…
17. Performance tests
Load Strategies
Choose load strategy corresponding your load model.
More info on strategies: http://www.soapui.org/Load-Testing/strategies.html
18. API Mocking
According to the Cambridge Dictionary something that is “mocked” is:
“Not real but appearing or pretending to be exactly like something”
So we are essentially talking about something that will not behave as a real
service, but will only mimic the behavior of the service.
A mock service is not the same as a full service simulation. A mock will only
simulate a part, perhaps one specific interaction, of a system. While a service
simulator will simulate the entire system and behave in an expected way
for all calls.
What is a Mock Service?
19. API Mocking
The real service is not implemented
• While serial development usually sux (slow)
Services out of your control:
• Test data
• Life cycle
• Availability & Access
• Negative scenarios
Charged services
Prototyping
3rd-party Consumers
Why should you mock a service?
20. API Mocking
What do you need to run a mocked service?
• A service contract (WSDL) to mock
• Specify port to run the mock on from soapUI
• Generate responses you need (positive or negative, static or dynamic)
• Launch your mock
What is your mock good for?
• A MockService can simulate any number of WSDL contracts
• Built in scripting functionality (Groovy) helps simulate almost any
desired behavior
• Fixed responses, random errors, dynamic results, etc.
How is your mock managed and hosted?
• You may run it from soapUI tool GUI
• You may run it from command-line (Java-based multi-OS runner)
• You may deploy it to a standard servlet container as a WAR
How does soapUI help?
