AMQP Testing
As we discussed, AMQP is a messaging tool. Adding to this, React API can work as publisher and consumer both for the AMQP Broker. We can use it to create functional and load tests.
AMQP Functional Testing
You can create a functional test using test steps specific to AMQP to verify the performance of AMQP services. The test steps are given below.
⚡ AMQP Declare Exchange: It is used to create an exchange on an AMQP broker.
⚡ AMQP Declare Queue: It is used to create queues on an AMQP broker.
⚡ AMQP Publish: It sends messages to the Exchange.
⚡ AMQP Receive: It is used to get the message from a queue.
⚡ AMQP Bind Queue: It binds a queue to an exchange.
AMQP Load Testing
AMQP Load Testing helps you verify if your service can deal with a lot of users at a time. You can efficiently perform Load Testing in your application.
✅ Create an AMQP Test case.
✅ Now, create a Load Test.
This process will take your testing to hundreds of users running locally.
Coverage Testing
A coverage test is defined as a metric in Software Testing that counts the amount of testing performed by a set of tests. It will include collecting info about which parts of a program are executed when running the test suite. It will help the user to decide which branches of conditional statements have been taken.
Ready API helps you to run coverage tests on your API. You can also know which features of your web service have been tested.
Benefits of Coverage Test
Some benefits of Coverage Testing are.
💢 Coverage testing can assure the quality of the test.
💢 You can keep Time, Scope, and Cost under control.
💢 It can help to know the paths in your app that were not tested.
💢 It also helps to prevent defect leakage.
REST Coverage Testing
You can tell ReadyAPI to collect coverage data while it is executing functional tests if your RESTful services have an OpenAPI, Swagger, or WADL spec. By looking at your coverage results, you can easily verify what you have tested and what you have not. You can also assess how thorough your tests are.
How it Works
You can work on REST Coverage testing if:
🔔 Your web service passes data in XML format and complies with the WADL spec.
🔔 Your web service passes data in XML or JSON format and complies with the OpenAPI Swagger spec.
Ready API uses representations to know the covered areas of the tested web services.
In the Method Name section, you can also find the representations defined for a method of your web service.
Representations have mainly four properties that are listed below.
⭐ Type.
⭐ Message Type.
⭐ Status Codes.
⭐ QNames.
Creating Representations
You can create your representations by following the below steps.
Step 1: Enable the Auto Create Setting.
Step 2: Run your requests in any manner.
Step 3: Restart the Ready API after adding representations.
SOAP Coverage Testing
SOAP is a messaging protocol that uses XML and the internet to exchange data between two machines. They are platform and language free as SOAP messages are only written in XML.
A SOAP message carries the things mentioned below.
⚡ A packet that shows the start and end of the message.
⚡ A header that includes attributes.
⚡ A body that holds XML data.
⚡ A fault that gives an error message.
Working of SOAP Coverage Testing
First, we have to enable the Coverage as it is disabled by default. Follow the below steps.
🔔 Click on the Coverage.
🔔 Now click on the Enable Coverage checkbox, as shown below.
🔔 Run your test case after selecting the checkbox.
Now your SOAP request will check if it has any XPath Match Assertions and respond accordingly.
Assertion Coverage
Assertion Coverage is used to check how much service has been asserted till now. The XPath Match assertions you have tied to a given message are covered by the info in the Assertion Results panel. Also, you have access to the test step where you defined those assertions.
You can also view your test steps by following the below steps.
⭐ Select the test step in the assertion coverage table.
⭐ Click on this icon. 
⭐ Your test steps will pop up on your screen.
Coverage Options
You can use the Coverage Options dialog to view your service running. Also, you can change some aspects of the data during testing. Click on the toolbar above the coverage list view. It will invoke the dialog box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the data sink in Ready API?
The Data Sink test step is used to store data collected in your tests to external storage, such as Excel, databases, text files, and so on. You can assign values to the test case properties and then store them in the data sink you need.
How do I increase font size in ReadyAPI?
In ReadyAPI, you can simply change the text size by pressing Ctrl and rotating the mouse wheel. This process will help you quickly choose the font size that is more suitable for you. Press Ctrl and spin the mouse wheel down to increase the font size.
Can we do performance testing using ReadyAPI?
To make sure your APIs can handle a huge volume of visitors, you can use ReadyAPI to create and run load or performance tests. You can spread the load across a number of computers, including cloud machines, or execute load tests locally.
