SOAtest's web service API enables web service clients to run tests on a remote machine running SOAtest. Web service mode is available for the Automation Edition of SOAtest. SOAtest can be started in web service mode as follows:
...
- -data specifies the Eclipse workspace location containing your test cases (.tst files).
- -settings specifies a properties file used to control certain global settings such as license password. For more information about these command line arguments, see Testing from the Command Line Interface - soatestcli.
When starting SOAtest in this way, the Start deactivated, release automatically when idle option (in Parasoft> Preferences> Parasoft> License) needs in Parasoft > Preferences > Parasoft > License needs to be disabled. Otherwise, you won’t be able to add this server from another SOAtest installation’s UI.The SOAtest web service is described by a WSDL document. When SOAtest is running in server mode, this WSDL can be found at http://localhost:9080/axis2/services/SOAtestService?wsdl. The WSDL can be used to generate web service clients. Most web service platforms can generate web service clients from a WSDL document.
