You can create a service test without recording by simply
adding the test elements as required and manually editing the test
element details in the test editor.
Before you begin
Tests are stored in test projects, which are test projects
that include a source folder. You must create a test project before
creating a test.
Ensure that you have a valid WSDL file in your
workspace. Ensure that the WSDL files use the proper syntax for the
test environment.
If you are using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
authentication, ensure that you have any required key files in your
workspace.
If you are using SOAP security, ensure that you have
configured the environment with the proper libraries and configuration
files.
Procedure
- In the workbench, click or click the New Service Test
toolbar button.
- Select a project and, in Name, type a name for the test, and then, click
Next. The name that you type is the base name for the recording, test, and other required files. You
see these files in standard Navigator or the Java™ Package
Explorer with their distinguishing suffixes, but you see only the simple (test) name in the Test
Navigator.
- Select a web service request to create the test for. If you select Web service request or one of the options in
Specification-based structure, specify a WSDL port and then configuration
properties for the HTTP protocol. If you select, XML request and
Text request, specify the configuration properties for the HTTP, JMS,
WebSphere MQ, WebSphere Java MQ, and Microsoft.Net protocols.
For information about the
configuration properties of each protocol, see the topics in Sending
service requests with the generic service client.
- Click Finish. The service test is created.
