SoapUI is the de facto standard tool for testing Web services and APIs. It is used by many DataPower developers. However, when SoapUI is used to test DataPower services that rely on XSLT files or other artifacts that have to be authored locally, having to manually upload these files to the device could substantially impair a developer’s productivity.
File uploads and many other test preparation steps can be easily automated using DPBuddy. All that is required is to invoke an Ant target containing DPBuddy’s copy task from the setup script of a SoapUI test step or a test suite. This guide explains how to do it.
