Editing service tests

After recording a service test, you can edit the calls and message returns to include variable data (rather than the data that you recorded). You can add verification points (to confirm that the test runs as expected), transactions, conditional processing, and custom code.

• Web service test editor overview
  With the test editor, you can inspect or customize a test that you recorded.

• Verify application behavior
  To check the expected behavior of the application during a service test, you can add verification points after a message return. During the run, verification points produce a pass, fail, error, or inconclusive status in the Web Service Verification Point report.

• Editing WSDL security configurations
  To ensure that service test uses the correct security protocols to access a SOAP-based service, specify a security profile for the (Web Service Description Language) WSDL file. After a security profile is set up, it can be reused in multiple Web service calls.

• Create a reliable messaging call structure
  You can create a test structure dedicated to testing service calls based on the WS-ReliableMessaging specification.

• Display XML data with the Service Content view
  With the Service Content view you can view the XML or text data sent and received by service calls and message returns. You can also use this view to compare expected and actual XML or text data after a test run.

• Exporting and importing service tests
  Service tests are tightly linked to their corresponding Web Services Description Language (WSDL) files and security configurations, which are workspace resources. Therefore, to share service tests, you must export and import them by using the export and import functionality.
