1. Types Of Testing

» Regression Testing

Regression testing is a type of software testing that intends to ensure that

changes (enhancements or defect fixes) to the software have not adversely

affected it.

» Sanity Testing

A sanity testing is a narrow regression testing that focuses on one or a few

areas of functionality. Sanity testing is usually narrow and deep.

» Smoke Testing

Smoke Testing is performed after software build to ascertain that the

critical functionalities of the program is working fine. It is

executed "before" any detailed functional or regression tests are executed

on the software build.

2. About Parasoft SOAtest 9.1

» Parasoft SOAtest automates web application testing, message/protocol

testing, cloud testing and security testing.

» Parasoft SOAtest is an integrated solution for:

o End-to-end testing: To continuously validate all critical aspects of

complex transactions, which may extend beyond the message layer

through a web interface, ESBs, databases, and everything in

between.

o Environment management: To reduce the complexity of testing in

today's heterogeneous environments–with limited visibility/control

of distributed components or vendor-specific technologies.

o Quality governance: To continuously measure how each service

conforms to the often dynamic expectations defined by both your

own organization and your partners.

5.1. Data Source

» Global Data Source

o It is used to Parameterize the hard coded values at the Global level.

o It is available to be used at the Test Suite level of each test case.

» Local Data Source

o It is used to Parameterize the hard coded values at the test case

level.

o It is available to be used at different Scenario levels of particular test

case.

5.2. Data Bank

» The Browser Data Bank can be chained to a Browser Testing tool to extract values from a browser page into a data source. The extracted value can be wherever parameterized values are allowed, such as the value to type used into an input in a subsequent test.


CISCO Page 9

5.3. Database Tool (DB Tool)

» This tool sends an inquiry to the database you specify, and the results from the query will be returned. SOAtest formats the results into XML; this allows XML based tools (XML Data Bank, XSLT Tool, etc.) to be chained to the output.

» A Traffic Viewer is automatically attached to each DB tool. It lets you see the end result of the SQL query that was sent to the server.


CISCO Page 10

5.4. Extension Tool

» The Extension tool allows you to implement a Jython, Java, or JavaScript method independently or in conjunction with your existing test suite. This additional functionality gives you the ability to customize SOAtest to your specific needs and is limited only by the capabilities of the scripting language that you are working with.


CISCO Page 11

5.5. Test Flow Logic

» SOAtest allows you to create tests that are dependent on the success or failure of previous tests, set-up tests, or tear-down tests. This helps you create an efficient workflow within the test suite. In addition, you can also influence test suite logic by creating while loops and if/else statements that depend on the value of a variable.

5.6. Assert Alert/Assert Confirmation

» Assert Alert o It is an alert message which comes when any test has an expectation

of getting an alert.


CISCO Page 12

» Asset Confirmation

o It is a confirmation message having two options of ‘OK’ and ‘Cancel’ to confirm whether you want to proceed further or not.

5.7. Validation Tools

» Diff Tool o With support for Binary, Text, XML, and JSON, the Diff tool is the

current backbone of a best-practices regression testing solution. The Diff tool compares the data in its editor against the data that it receives from another tool's output or from another input that you specify and reports a failure when it finds a difference


CISCO Page 13

» XML Assertor o The XML Assertor is used to enforce the correctness of data in an

XML message.The XML Assertor provides support for complex message validation needs without the need for scripting, and allows you to easily create and maintain validation assertions on your XML messages.

5.8. Quality Tasks

» By default, the Quality Tasks view shows cumulative results for all tested resources. Quality Task view reports the test for Errors and Warnings that comes during run time. Thus, it helps in finding Bugs and help the test or to correct them accordingly.
