Road to command line execution of soapUI project

We run SoapUI project using SoapUI GUI interface.  SoapUI also provide set off batch files to execute soapUI tests from command line without using SoapUI GUI interface.

Following are the runner scripts inside installed SoapUI bin folder.
1. testrunner.bat : this is use to run functional test using command line.
2. loadtestrunner.bat: This is used to run soapui load testing using command line.
3. mockservicerunner.bat:  This is used to run soapui mock services using command line.
4. toolrunner.bat: This is used to launch soapui tools.
5. securitytestrunner.bat: This command is used to run security tests

Note: setup soaui bin folder path into your system variable path.

Command Line soapui tests execution:

1. Open command prompt and got to your created soapui project.
2. Run command > testrunner {SoapProjectName}.xml

3. After running test you should see some text file is generated in root.

4. We can run test suite or test case using testrunner command. as below:

testrunner –c "APITestCase" -r SampleTest-soapui-project.xml

Where “APITestCase is test name and “SampleTest-soapui-project.xml” is soapui project. Here I use –r flag so that after execution console summary look like below.
