How to Create Mock Service and Dynamic Response in SoapUI

This guide will offer a detailed explanation of mock services. It will enable you to understand:

• What mock services are and their importance
• How to form a mock service in SOAPUI
• An overview of mock operation and dynamic mock response
• A demonstration of mock operation and dispatch methods
• How to apply scripting for mock response

Understanding Mock Service:

Forming a mock service facilitates the simulation of a response to a web service inquiry. This mechanism is particularly useful for offline testing and review of web services during software development.

The procedure for constructing a project using a WSDL web service and generating a mock service is presented in the following steps:

We will use a sample WSDL for simplicity in this guide:

#1) Establish a SOAP project using this WSDL:
http://www.webservicex.com/globalweather.asmx

(Note: Click on any picture for a bigger view)

#2) Right-click on the project designation and pick the ‘Generate MockService’ option.

#3) In the MockService dialog box, you have the option to change the port number and host name.

#4) A default reply is generated in the Mock Service.

#5) Commence the mock service.

#6) Leverage a browser to access the WSDL service.

#7) The browser will display the WSDL of the mock service:

#8) Duplicate the WSDL service URL and utilize it as the New EndPoint for sending a request to the mock service.

#9) Submit a request to the recently added endpoint to get a response from the Mock Service.

Mock Operation and Dynamic Mock Responses:

When the mock service accepts a request, it sends it to the mock operation. The mock operation subsequently selects the appropriate response from a list and returns it to the web service.

1) You can increase the number of mock responses and set up a dynamic response as per the request/query, or dispatch a response in sequence or at random.

2) To incorporate a fresh mock response, right-click on the mock operation and select “New Mock Response”.

3) Configure the New Mock Response to construct a soap fault response if required.

4) Double-clicking on the mock operation opens the configuration panel, which presents options for forming dynamic responses.
