Using Web Services in a Test Case in Katalon

Web Service Testing

Software testing for Web services is known as Web Services Testing. Web services testing is done to evaluate an API's usability, dependability, performance, and security. In some ways, web service testing is similar to unit testing. You have three options for testing a Webservice: manually, with your own automation code, or with a pre-made automation tool like Postman.

In Test Request Object View

From the object details view, you can add Web Services requests straight to test cases. Just click the plus sign to add a test case to an existing or new test case.

In the Test Case editor's Manual View

To use a web service object in manual view, follow these steps:

• Select the option to add a Web Service Keyword from the command toolbar after opening a test case in Manual view.

• The test case now includes a Web Service step. You must use the Send Request keyword in order to send a request to a web service. Now choose the Send Request keyword.

• Double-click the object cell to specify the web service object to send the request for.

• If necessary, different Verify... keywords could be used depending on your situation to validate the output of the Send Request keyword.

In the Test Case editor's Script View

To check the web service answer, use the Verify... and Send Request keywords for Web Service objects. For additional information about Element Locator, you might wish to look through Handle Response messages:
 

//to send a SOAP request
def response = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject([]))
//Check to see if a value in a particular place in the response is what is expected.
WS.verifyElementPropertyValue(response, <Element Locator>, <expected value>)

For example:
 

You can pass values to the variables in the following ways if you've used variables and parameters in test requests:
 

//Send a test request and provide values for any variables that were utilized in it
def response = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject([Web Service object ID], ["variable1": value1, "variable2": value2, ... , "variableN": valueN]))

For example:
