API Testing with soap and rest workshop:
-------------------------------------------
What is API?
• API stands for Application Programming Interface
• APIs are mechanisms that enable two software components to communicate with each
other
using a set of definitions and protocols.
• API contains collections of functions and procedures
Types
• Private AΡΙ
• Public API
• Partner API
• Composite API
What are Web Services?
•A Web service is a software package that is used for communicating between
two devices or web entities lying on the network.
Types:-
• SOAP Web Services
• REST Web Services
• The abbreviation of SOAP is the Simple Object Access Protocol.
All its messages are usually in XML format, The SOAP message consists of: Root
element, Headers & body
• REST stands for Representational State Transfer,
It establishes connection over http or https protocol
(GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, etc.).
The allocation of resources in REST depends on the URL & it's
messages will be in JSON, Text, HTML, XML etc.
how to test soap web service?

What is SOAP
2 ways to write web services:
1. REST web services
2. SOAP web services

SOAP web service testing:
======================================
Agenda: lession 1
------------------
* What is SOAP based web service?
* How it works,architecture
* sw development of soap web service , hello world with java
* how to undestand wsdl file
* how to customized wsdl file
* install soap ui smartbear 5.7
https://soapui.org/downloads/soapui/soapui-os-older-versions/
* download and install
* how to test cal application
contains
not contains
Agenda lession 2:
------------------
Testing simple calculator application
Creating soap project using WSDL
create test suite and test cases
added contains assertions
execute test in sequence and parallel
documentation
Agenda lession 3:
------------------
Contains
Not contains
Xpath Query match
Invalid http status code
valid http status code
soap faults
Example:
https://ws.footballpool.dataaccess.eu/info.wso?WSDL
We should have understanding of some fundaments:
-------------------------------------------------
xml: https://www.w3schools.com/xml/
XML schema: used to validation xml doc
https://www.w3schools.com/xml/schema_intro.asp
XML DTD (older way to validation xml)
https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_dtd.asp
Xpath:
https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xpath_intro.asp
Xpath: is a query language for selecting
nodes form xml documents
XPath can be used to navigate through elements and attributes in an XML document.
XPath stands for XML Path Language
XPath uses "path like" syntax to identify and navigate nodes in an XML
document
XPath contains over 200 built-in functions
XPath is a major element in the XSLT standard
XPath is a W3C recommendation

All player:
Example: we can to assert that id of first player is 6100
//m:AllPlayerNamesResponse/m:AllPlayerNamesResult/m:tPlayerName[1]/m:iId
Example: we can to assert that name of first player is "Constantin Grameni"
//m:AllPlayerNamesResponse/m:AllPlayerNamesResult/m:tPlayerName[1]/m:sName
Example: we can to assert how many sname tag presents?
//count(//m:sName)
Tag presence:
//m:AllPlayerNamesResponse/m:AllPlayerNamesResult/m:tPlayerName/m:sName
true
Check sName match:
matches(//m:AllPlayerNamesResponse/m:AllPlayerNamesResult/m:tPlayerName[1]/
m:sName,"Aaron Cresswell")
true
Check Names should have only alphabets:
matches(//m:AllPlayerNamesResponse/m:AllPlayerNamesResult/m:tPlayerName[1]/
m:sName,'[A-Za-z]*')
true
Check ID's should have only digits:
matches(//m:AllPlayerNamesResponse/m:AllPlayerNamesResult/m:tPlayerName[1]/m:iId,'\
d')
true
XQuery:
it is language for Querying XML data
XQuery is to XML same as SQL to database
XQuery buid on top of Xpath expression
XQuery use functions to extract data from xml documents

Example:
https://www.w3schools.com/xml/books.xml
Invalid/Valid http status code:
---------------------------
understanding http status code
http://www.dneonline.com/calculator.asmx?wsdl
install Wizdler - Chrome Web Store as plugin
Q: how to create doc for soap web service
wsdl file act as documentation: no need to have extra doc
knowledge to read wsdl correctly
rest: swagger to create doc
Post is non idemoptent
Http Status code
REST build on top of http protocol
Uniform interface:
A group of methods, such as GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE,
that are easily understood by the client and server
Stateless: Each request is processed independently from the previous ones
Cacheable: REST is cache friendly and supports multiple formats
Client-server:
The server has "resources" that are presented to the client as a
representation of the resource's state
Layered system:
Individual components cannot see beyond the immediate layer with which they
are interacting

What is Postman?
tool to test rest api
free to insall and use in production system
download and just install
login with ur username/password : gmail
• What is API & its types?
web api: REST api
• What are Web Services? & It's types
REST
SOAP
• How to Install Postman?
:)
• What are the other software's required?
nodejs, npm package manager
• Create Collections & Folders
• How to Create First Request in Postman?
• Create GET, POST, PUT & DELETE Requests
https://restful-booker.herokuapp.com/apidoc/index.html#api-Booking-CreateBooking
Topic - 02 (API Testing)
-------------------------
Negative Scenarios
• How to declare & use Environment Variables?
• How to save response in variable?
• Postman Console - Debugging
• Create automatic API tests?
• Assertions -
• Status code
• Response body contains
• Response header
• Response time
• use Environment Variables?
Environment
dev test pre prod prod
Negative Scenarios
• Record not found
• Request has invalid characters
• Values has to many characters
• Request sent with missing information
• Value is not in correct format
Ex: How to declare & use Environment Variables?
let we want to use firstname for env variable
let we want to use lastname for env variable
Ex: we will create a new booking
"bookingid": 392
now we want to define bookingid into a variable so that it can be used in all the
crud methods
var jsonData=pm.response.json();
pm.environment.set("b_id",jsonData.bookingid);
it will set a variable once we run the request
https://restful-booker.herokuapp.com/booking/{{b_id}}
Do same for api token used to update the api
Topic - 03 (API Testing)
-------------------------
Advanced Assertions
• JSON Assertion
• Nested JSON Assertion
• Curl Command
• How to execute Collection?
• How to execute folder?
• Exclude tests script from execution
• How to Export Collection?

Level 3 - Hypermedia Controls
security
basics auth: here username and password need to be passed with each request
jwt token: here rather then username and password we will pass the jwt token
oauth: mainly use for authorization using 3rd party application
login using facebook
......
Testing JWT based api:
======================
https://survayapi.themetasum.com/swagger/index.html
url for resitering new user:
https://survayapi.themetasum.com/api/Authenticate/Register
url for getting jwt token, u need to login the the app with the username/password
you have registered:
https://survayapi.themetasum.com/api/Authenticate/login
calling a secure api:
1. without token : 401
2. with valid token : 200 with data

How to develop rest api?
----------------------
rest : python
rest : c#
rest : java
rest : js
Spring boot is a defacto stand to create microservice rest api application
it provide you a template to create rest api
Not soap faults
SOAP response
Response SLA
script assertions
Json path count
Json path match
