This two day Mission Critical Service Testing Using soapUI will teach you how to use the powerful capabilities of soapUI Pro to answer important questions prior to placing these services into production.

In an effort to streamline development and boost productivity, many enterprises are deploying Web, REST, and other types of software services. Unfortunately, very few of these organizations are performing effective, comprehensive tests to ensure that these new, vital services are up to the challenge. The class is structured around the highly regarded 7 Fundamentals of Mission-Critical Service Testing methodology, created by Think88 based on interviews with customers in a variety of industries, as well as extensive analysis of the most effective service deployments.

Instead of focusing on theory alone, the course provides more than 100 hands-on exercises that prepare you for maximal effectiveness in your own environment. You’ll see how to use soapUI Pro in support of dozens of real-world scenarios, including:

How can you tie your testing to a QA management system? How can you test for corner and boundary conditions? How can you understand and test a complex message? How can you create and manage assertions? What if your service has no contract?

Test Using Large Amounts Of Realistic Data

• What if you don't have any sample data? How can you drive your tests with high quality sample data? How can you track the data your services return?

Make Sure You Govern Your Services

• What do you do when service contracts change? How can you tell if your contract is well designed? How do you know if your service is conforming to its schema?
