Creating Tests From a WSIL

To automatically create a test suite from a valid WSIL document, complete the following:

1. Choose the Other > WSIL option in one of the available test creation wizards. For details on accessing the wizards, see:
   • Adding a New .tst File to an Existing Project
   • Adding a New Test Suite
2. In the WSIL wizard page, enter a valid WSIL URL in the WSIL URL field, or click Browse to locate a URL.
   

   • Note

     The remaining steps are optional. Once you enter a valid WSIL URL, you can go ahead and click Finish and SOAtest will generate a suite of test cases that test every object associated with the WSDLs within the WSIL you entered. If you would like to configure the test suite further, continue to the next step.
3. Enable Create Functional Tests from the WSDL.
4. To create a separate test suite that generates a series of tests to verify every aspect of the WSDL, enable Create tests to validate and enforce policies on the WSDL.
5. Click Next. The Policy Enforcement dialog opens.
   
6. Enable Apply Policy Configuration. This will create WSDL and functional tests that will enforce the assertions defined in the specified policy configuration.
   • The default policy configuration, default.soapolicy, is a collection of industry-wide best practices. To use a custom policy configuration, you can either click Browse to select a policy configuration or enter the policy configuration's path in the text field. For details on policy enforcement, see SOA Policy Enforcement: Overview.
7. Click Next to advance to the Layout dialog.
   
8. (Optional) Enable Organize as Positive and Negative Unit Tests to create both positive and negative tests for each operation since it is important to test situations where we send expected data as well as unexpected data to the server. The default value is configured to Sort Tests Alphabetically.
9. (Optional) Enable Asynchronous and choose Parlay, Parlay X, SCP, or WS-Addressing to create asynchronous test suites. For more information on asynchronous testing, see Creating Asynchronous Tests.
10. Click Finish.

SOAtest will generate a suite of test cases that test every object associated with the WSDL you entered.
