Automating SOAP API tests is a critical skill for ensuring the reliability of enterprise-level web services. This text-based course guides you through the process of writing, running, and reporting SOAP API tests using Java. By reading this course, you will understand how to parse WSDL files, construct SOAP requests, automate test execution with Gradle, and generate clear test reports. You will gain the confidence to integrate API testing into modern software development workflows. What you'll learn: - Understand SOAP API fundamentals, XML structures, and WSDL definitions - Construct and send SOAP requests programmatically using Java - Automate test suites and manage dependencies efficiently using Gradle - Generate comprehensive test execution reports using Allure - Practice clean code principles in test automation to ensure maintainability - Configure basic assertions to validate API responses and status codes The course begins with foundational concepts of SOAP web services and XML parsing. You will then progress to writing Java-based test scripts, running them via the command line with Gradle, and generating visual reports. This course is designed for beginner QA engineers, developers, and automation enthusiasts who have a basic understanding of Java and want to learn SOAP API testing. No prior API testing experience is required. Start reading today to build reliable automated test suites for enterprise web services.
