[QF-Test] Fwd: Re: Restful API testing

["Plamen Vesselinov, QFS Support" <support@?.de>]

Dear Kevin,

Thank your for your sending your question to the mailing list. I have 
already answered to one of your colleagues. For your convenience I will 
place the text also here.
Testing SOAP and RESTful Web Services entirely possible with QF-Test.
We support almost all HTTP Request methods.
There are several possible scenarios each with it's own benefits and 
caveats.
I Using QF-Test own "Server HTTP Request Node"

In this case you can tests the APIs over HTTP or HTTPS. This applies for 
both SOAP and REST.  For every single endpoint you configure the "Server 
HTTP Request Node" appropriately. Currently there is no recording 
functionality or importing of WSDL files. A common approach is to 
capture the traffic for a service call and then use the details to 
set-up the request in QF-Test.
Depending on the complexity of the checks, validating the response 
details may vary from a simple check with regular expressions to a 
sophisticated parsing of the body.
II Use the JUnit Node in QF-Test

This is very powerful because you can use pure Groovy or JAVA to 
generate, test, mock Web Service requests and their Responses.
An advantage is that the tests will be executed in QF-Test and the 
reports will be generated by QF-Test.
The cons is that this approach requires a true developers work and not 
every test engineer has the required skills.
III SoapUI and Insomnia

This variant is the most interesting one because it uses an Integration 
with two other test tools. Since SoapUI is a SWING based application and 
 Insomnia an Electron one ... you can control them via QF-Test, like a 
human would do via the GUI.
In QF-Test you can create Procedures which will work as an integration 
layer for the functions that SoapUI and Insomnia offer.
I think that a mix of all possible approaches is also viable depending 
what fits better to the the test engineers and the requirements.
Best Regards,
Plamen Vesselinov
