Learn to create a rest api project in SoapUI, add uris for get and other methods, and organize test suites, test cases, and steps to test student data.

Learn how to create a new student via a post request with a json body in a REST API, then verify by retrieving all students with a get request.

Use put requests to update existing resources in a rest service, demonstrated by updating a student's middle name in SoapUI, including setting the id, method, and verification via get.

Learn to perform a REST delete test by sending an ID in the URL to remove a resource, then verify deletion with a follow-up get request in SoapUI/ReadyAPI.

Demonstrates an end-to-end rest api scenario by creating a new student, adding its technology and address, then fetching complete details across multiple rest requests in a soapui readyapi workflow.

Explore the section agenda by understanding what properties are, why and where to use them, and how to create and use properties (with free and pro videos).

Learn how properties in SoapUI replace repeated values with reusable variables across global, project, suite, and test case levels, and how to define them for flexible, maintainable tests.

Learn to create, delete, move, and sort properties, clear values, and export or import them, including sharing via file and creating missing properties on import.

Learn to reuse properties across global, project, suite, and test case levels in SoapUI Pro, and insert them into test steps or XML using dollar curly braces and hash syntax.

Define and use global, project, suite, and case level properties in SoapUI's free version, and apply property references with dollar curly braces and double hashes in test steps.

Explore the section's agenda by identifying common steps shared by both soap free and soap pro versions, and preview pro-only steps to be covered in the next section.

Add a delay test step between soap request steps to pause test execution for 10 seconds, showing how to place and run the delay between step one and step two.

Explore groovy script test steps in SoapUI by adding a groovy test step to a test case, using groovy programming to drive test logic.

Learn how to create and use property test steps in SoapUI, defining global, project, suite, and case properties, then reuse these variables across test steps to drive tests.

Explore manual test steps in SoapUI: insert a manual step between test steps to perform tasks like restarting a server or clearing logs, and record actual results and pass/fail.

learn how to use the run test case step to call another test case within a soap ui test suite, enabling reusability of login steps.

Master assertion test steps in SoapUI/ReadyAPI to compare actual versus expected results using contains and not contains, across multiple steps, enabling centralized maintenance.

Implement end-to-end automation in SoapUI by capturing the ID from add new student and passing it to add technical skills, add addresses, and fetch all data. Explore using properties, dynamic data, and Json Slurper, and understand query versus template parameters for dynamic requests.

Configure a grid data source to drive tests with multiple country code values using a data source loop.

Implement parameterization by loading test data from a Notepad file using a data source and data source loop in SoapUI, executing multiple country codes and names.

Create parameterized tests using an Excel data source in SoapUI, then define a data source loop to run the test case multiple times with different country codes.

Explore the data sink step and data sync workflow in SoapUI, hitting get cities by country and get weather information, and saving results to a file via a details property.

Learn to build a data-driven test in SoapUI Pro using WSDL, data source and data source loop with Excel, validating the add operation, and saving results to a data sink.

Discover how the datagen test step generates runtime data for a soap request test, defining properties like country code and age, with list options and optional randomization, plus groovy scripting.

Identify how to use contains and not contains assertions within a test case to validate service responses, comparing actual and expected results and handling case-insensitive matching.

Master SLA assertion to validate server response times in milliseconds, set expectations like 1000 ms, and observe how performance checks fail when responses exceed the time limit.

Validate xml responses from soap services against the wsdl-defined schema using a schema compliance assertion, enforcing rules like mandatory country name and country code in the xsd file.

Learn to identify soap fault versus not soap fault in soap services, perform negative testing with SoapUI by adding soap fault and not soap fault assertions, and validate responses.

Create a soap project, add a flow request for get city forecast by zip, and validate the city text is NewYork with an XPath assertion in SoapUI Pro.

Learn to create xpath assertions in soapui free version against a wsdl weather service, using namespaces, single and double slash, and text() to verify forecasts.
