Make SOAP requests from Postman + Web Service Testing

Рет қаралды 79,727

Күн бұрын

SOAP requests containing XML are still popular today. In Postman, SOAP is not natively supported (meaning that there is no support for generating SOAP requests in Postman), but as SOAP requests run over HTTP, you can use Postman. Many already use Postman for dealing with REST APIs and GraphQL API and don't want to switch between multiple tools.
If you are solely using SOAP-based APs, maybe Postman is not the best tool for the job.
In this video tutorial, I will show you how you can run a simple SOAP request with Postman, use variables to make your SOAP body dynamic, and write some API tests after parsing the XML response body.
One popular alternative to Postman with natively supports SOAP requests and parse WSDL files is SoapUI. You can use SoapUI to generate your request body and manually paste it in Postman if you prefer to use Postman for working with SOAP.
You can download the free opensource version of SoapUI from here: www.soapui.org/downloads/soap...

I need help, what would you do here if you need to authenticate tokens and convert it to code. Are we adding the tokens with headers? This is for python

This tutorial could not have come at a better time. I was demonstrating using SoapUI to a QA engineer just yesterday for testing a couple of our legacy APIs. Today, I’ll handover the same requests in Postman, one environment, no context switching. SoapUI’s UI is a car crash scene.

is it possible to send multiple request in one single service call?.. I mean, in the above case can we send multiple pair of numbers as request in one service call to get their sum as response at one instance?

This depends on how on the web service. Typically yes.

Hello. Thank you. But need some clarification. It may be because of postman version, but I couldn't change value in header to text/xml, or need to change something in settings? I have add new key 'Content-Type' and only there I could make text/xml

This is slightly more complex and depends on the Webservice and if they support MTOM, SWA or inline attachments. Check the docs and come back with more information.

Soapwebservices testing using postman is this content included in your udemy course my project has both soap Webservices and rest API can I use postman to do API testing in my case which has both Soap and Rest

@vdespa 4 жыл бұрын

The course explains API testing in general and shows REST examples. The concepts can be easily applied to SOAP but the course does not focus on SOAP. Postman does not support SOAP such as SoapUI does.
