Improved (simplified) Testing #17

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Whilst integrating testing using Groovy/Java is great, not everyone uses
Java :)

It would be great if I could knock up some simple tests that allow me to
simply check the response from a request. Something like the following as a
file that can be saved or loaded:

[Response]
Status:200|201|404
Content-Type:application\/xml|application\/xhtml\+xml
ValidateXSD:/my/xml/schema.xsd

I should be able to use simple boolean logic and/or Regular Expressions to
check header values, and I should be able to validate the response against
an XSD or RNG file. I should be able to quickly create a test file to check
the response against. If any of the specified rules fails, I should get a
breakdown of what it was checkign, and what the actual result was.

Something nice and simple like that would be awesome (and easily
automatically generated by other tools: e.g. PHP)

Either this, or some simple documentation on how to use the testing abilities 
for us
non-java types!

This is an interesting proposition. I wonder why I always end up thinking 
complex!! 
Anyways, think this feature can be developed as part of the existing 
infrastructure: 
by transparently generating Groovy script internally for the test written in 
such "super" script. Thanks for the input.

If I could wrap the saved request xml file up with this as well.... now that 
would
rock (automated testing: call the request XML file + check the results = sweet)

Hi,

is there a way I can use this tool from command line? I wish to run multiple 
tests
with (input query, expected output) as part of regression of our web services. 
If you
have any other suggestions, kindly let me know thanks,

Kamran

Issue: 78 has the details (I have implemented a basic one today).

Closing this as we have Groovy support for this.
