Reference Test (.tst) File | ProjectUses an existing project/.tst file as a building block for constructing another—reusing your existing test assets.Using Test Suite References
SOAtest Java ProjectCreates a new Eclipse Java project that has access to SOAtest's Extensibility API. You can later configure SOAtest scripts and Extension tools to invoke classes from the new Java project.Using Eclipse Java Projects in SOAtest
SOA Policy Configuration FileCreates a SOA policy file that addresses concerns such as interoperability and compliance to industry standards, as well as maintainability and best practices. SOA Policy Enforcement: Overview

Creating Tests From JMS System Transactions

RAML

Creates:

  • Functional tests for the end-points found in a RAML description.
Creating Tests From a RAML Definition
Record from traffic

Records HTTP, JMS, or MQ traffic. You can later create the following from the generated traffic file:

  • Functional tests for the messages captured in the specified traffic file.
  • Regression controls that validate whether each request continues to have the expected response (the response captured in the file) when the messages are replayed.

Creating Tests From Recorded HTTP, JMS or MQ Traffic

Sonic Enterprise Service Bus

Configures SOAtest to:

  • Monitor transactions that pass through a Sonic ESB system.
