The development team I am working with is currently building some data services which interact behind the scenes for the website functionality we are ultimately working to deliver.
Basically, I have a story where I want to test one service calling another and receiving an error from the second service when doing so - the story is concerned with the error handing process of the first service.
I am looking for a way to simulate this error response from the second service and from some research it looks like Soapui mockservices could provide what I am looking for. I think I should be able to create a mockservice in Soapui and set it up to return an error response when the first service attempts to call it?
However, I haven’t been able to source useful documentation helping me out with the how to do it. Tutorials I have found seem to be either very basic or overly technical (obviously written by / for devs).
Any ideas from a tester’s point of view would be most welcome - I am comfortable with a bit of coding but not very knowledgeable in the area.
Thanks for that - I will take a look at the links you have suggested. Unfortunately I am not a pro subscriber… I wonder if I could persuade my company to pick up the bill for it…??
I would drop @rosiesherry a message and ask what other people typically do in those situations. I do not see a reason why they would not do it, there is a lot of great content available so they have a good return on investment, and the price is very reasonable.
I’d say most of Dojo subscriptions are actually paid by their companies. It’s a really small price to pay for all the learning available as you will get access to all the content.
