Data driven testing in SoapUI using groovy script with excel file

SoapUI Pro has a feature to read data from external files like: excel, csv etc. But SoapUI does not provide such feature to read data from excel file. So for reading data from excel file in SoapUI, we need to write some code in groovy script.
I this post I will show you, how to read data from excel file.I am using poi jar files to read data from excel file in groovy, download following jar files and put into SoapUI lib folder.
  • poi-3.8-beta5-20111217.jar
  • poi-examples-3.8-beta5-20111217.jar
  • poi-excelant-3.8-beta5-20111217.jar
  • poi-ooxml-3.8-beta5-20111217.jar
  • poi-ooxml-schemas-3.8-beta5-20111217.jar
  • poi-scratchpad-3.8-beta5-20111217.jar 
  • dom4j-1.6.1.jar
In this post, I have created a SoapUI project for “ConversionRate“ API, and created a test case and teststep with name “ConversionRate”. So here I need to run this test for the set of data, where data is in external excel file.

I have created a “ReadXLSFile” groovy step and write below code to read data from “Book1.xlsx” file for the “ConversionRate” API method. Below is excel file data:

GroovyScript Code:

 import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.*;
import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.*;
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.*;
import org.apache.poi.ss.util.*;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.*;
import java.io.*;

class ExcelReader {
  
  def readData() {
        def path = "E:\\Automation-WorkArea\\APITest\\Book1.xlsx";
        InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(path);
        Workbook workbook = WorkbookFactory.create(inputStream);
        Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0);
                      
        Iterator rowIterator = sheet.rowIterator();
        rowIterator.next()
        Row row;                       
        def rowsData = []
        while(rowIterator.hasNext()) {
             row = rowIterator.next()
             def rowIndex = row.getRowNum()
             def colIndex;
             def rowData = []
             for (Cell cell : row) {
                 colIndex = cell.getColumnIndex()
                  rowData[colIndex] = cell.getRichStringCellValue().getString();
             }                    
             rowsData << rowData
         }
         rowsData
  }
 }

def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)
def myTestCase = context.testCase

ExcelReader excelReader = new ExcelReader();
List rows = excelReader.readData();
def d = []
Iterator i = rows.iterator();
while( i.hasNext()){
         d = i.next();
         myTestCase.setPropertyValue("From", d[0])
         myTestCase.setPropertyValue("To", d[1])       
         testRunner.runTestStepByName( "ConversionRate")

}
Description:
  • ExcelReader class containing a function “readData” to read data from “Book1.xlsx" file.
  • myTestCase.setPropertyValue("From", d[0]) and myTestCase.setPropertyValue("To", d[1])  are  used to set testcase “from” and “To” properties  value.
  • testRunner.runTestStepByName( "ConversionRate") this steps is used to run test step “ConversionRate”
So in this way when I run test “ReadXLSFile” read data from xls file and will execute test “ConversionRate” for each setoff data

SSO with SAML login scenario in JMeter

SAML(Security Assertion Markup Language) is increasingly being used to perform single sign-on(SSO) operations. As WikiPedia puts it, SAML is an XML-based open standard data format for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider. With the rise in use of SAML in web applications, we may need to handle this in JMeter. This step-by-step tutorial shows SAML JMeter scenario to perform login operation. First request from JMeter is a GET request to fetch Login page. We need to fetch two values ‘SAMLRequest’ and ‘RelayState’ from the Login page response data. We can do this by using  Regular Expression Extractor . These two values need to be sent in POST request to service provider. Refer below image to see how to do this. We will get an HTML login page as a response to the request sent in 1st step. We need to fetch values of some hidden elements to pass it in the next request. We can do this b

VBScript Code - Function to convert CSV file into excel and viceversa in QTP using VBScript

We at times are required to convert excel files into csv to read as flat files and sometime require to convert a csv file into excel file to use excel features on the data.   Below function shows how to convert an csv file into excel file and vice versa. We can also convert to other formats based on constants Here constant value 23 is used to create a csv file and constant -4143 to save a file as xls file. Once the destination file is created, we can delete the source file as shown below.  In case of any issue in understanding the code, please add in comment section Call func_ConversionCSVExcel("E:\Test.csv", "E:\Test_converted.xls", "csvtoexcel") Public Function func_ConversionCSVExcel(strSrcFile, strDestFile, Conversion) on error resume next Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application") set objExcelBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(strSrcFile) objExcel.application.visible=false objExcel.application.displayalerts=

Reading data from text file in SoapUI using groovy script

How to read data from text file in SoapUI. SoapUI Pro has some advance feature which is not in SaopUI as data fetching from external sources so in SoapUI we use Groovy script for that. Following are the peace of groovy script code for reading data from text file. 1. Reading all data from text file. //reading all txt file at once File file = new File("E://TestData.txt") fileContent = file.getText()                  log.info fileContent 2. Reading data line by line from text file. //reading text line by line File file1 = new File(" E://TestData.txt ") List textLine = file1.readLines() log.info textLine 3. Reading data randomly of any line from text file. //reading text randon line number File file2 = new File(" E://TestData.txt ") List textLine2 = file2.readLines() rowIndex  =  Math.abs(new Random().nextInt() % 4 + 1) log.info textLine2[rowIndex]
