The best way to understand the SOAPscope Server product family is to try out an evaluation in your own environment. However we've made some short videos to give you an overview of SOAPscope Server product family capabilities and how they work.  Please be patient as each video may take a few minutes to load. 

 

1. Invoke a Web Service  (Available in all products)

 

Invoke enables you to test your Web services by dynamically creating a request message using the SOAPscope UI, sending that request message to a server, and viewing the response. Resend enables you to change the data being sent in a message and send it again to see the effect of your change.   The Invoke and Resend capabilities allow you to send messages and view the responses to test a service method. You can then resend that message multiple times while making small changes. Invoke and Resend make service and SOA testing fast and efficient.

3. Build a Simple Scenario Replay Test (Available in all products)

 

Scenario Testing provides a simple, but reproducible way to test Web services without using complicated or expensive testing tools. Scenario Testing allows you to redirect playback scripts to different end points, such as a test server, developer debug environment, or production server. When you create a new message, SOAPscope automatically creates a new action based on the message and adds that action to a list of actions. You can replay these lists of actions to verify that responses match existing benchmarks. You can also customize Scenario Test actions to use variables to thread data from one action to another.

5. Build a Data-driven Test with Input and Verification Data from a CSV file (Available in SOAPscope Server and SOAPscope Tester)

 

Data binding can be used to pass information into web service requests and to validate web service responses. It can also be used to allow load tests to be run repeatedly using different data sets for each test invocation.  This data can be imported directly from spreadsheet, .CSV files, or manually entered into data grids.

 

6. Build a Simple LoadCheck (Available in SOAPscope Server and SOAPscope Tester)

 

Mindreef Load Check allows users to test the performance and scalability of services before they are delivered to the performance testing team. Load Check allows members of project teams - without specialized performance and load testing skills - to quickly and easily load test services early in the service development lifecycle and find performance and scalability problems when it is still early and cost-effective to make corrections.

8. Build a Simple TestSuite for Test Automation (Available in SOAPscope Server and SOAPscope Tester)

 

Test Suites let you automate the running of unit, functional, regression, and acceptance tests.  Each Test Suite is an ordered list of workspaces containing stored tests.  Test automation using Test Suites enables managers and teams to easily and quickly determine where to focus test and fix efforts.   Trend reporting provides historical data on tests passing and failing over time, to enable informed decisions on whether services or SOAs are ready to ship.

10. Validating WSDL, XML Schema and SOAP (Available in all products)

 

Policy checking allows you to confirm at any point in the software development lifecycle that your services comply with company and industry rules and best practices that have been setup for your project or team.   It allows development and testing staff to validate - early and often - that services are meeting policies to avoid interoperability or policy compliance problems, improving business agility.

 

11. A Look at Technical Design Policy Implementation. (Available in SOAPscope Server and SOAPscope Architect)

 

12. Writing your Custom rules and making a custom technical design policy for WSDL. (Available in SOAPscope Server and SOAPscope Architect)

 

Policy rules authoring enables you to translate best practices used by the industry and your company into coded rules that can be validated automatically as service designers create new services. Contracts are validated up front, long before they could cause interoperability or policy compliance problems at run-time.  See how you can create your own custom rules.
