In this 3-Day soapUI training course you will learn how to construct robust functional, scalability, and reliability tests for your Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Web services, and REST-based services. With more than 150 hands-on exercises, this is the most comprehensive class available for soapUI, and teaches how to use this powerful tool without requiring you to be a test coding expert.

We begin by examining the underlying standards and technologies used by soapUI, such as XML, WSDL, SOAP, XPath, and REST. It's then time to explore the the entire soapUI product, with a goal of quickly becoming familiar with its user interface and test structure. You then see how to discover and catalog Web and REST-based services, followed by issuing requests to these service providers. Next we learn how to create and monitor test assertions, along with setting up mock services. You'll understand how to create a wide variety of performance and scalability tests, as well as determine test coverage. Finally, since the Groovy programming language adds a tremendous amount of flexibility to the soapUI product, you'll see how to incorporate this powerful language into your tests.
