Setting the Test Properties

To set the test properties:

1. In the Projects window, under the Composite Application > Test node, right-click the node for the test case and choose Properties from the pop-up menu.

2. Set the properties of the test case as follows:

   • Description : string

   • Destination : URL (from the .wsdl file's <soap:address location="THIS"> tag)

     Identifies the location of the web service to be tested.

   • SoapAction (default: blank)

   • Input File (read-only; generated by system)

     Name of the input file. This file contains the input data for the test case.

   • Output File (read-only; generated by system)

     Name of the output file. This file contains the output data for the test case.

   • Concurrent Threads : integer; default = 1

     Each thread can invoke the test case multiple times (see the following property). Thus, if conc=2 and inv=3, the test case will be run 6 times (two threads, each run thrice).

   • Invokes Per Thread : integer; default = 1

     Number of times each thread invokes the test case.

   • Test Timeout (sec) : integer; default = 30

     How long each thread has to finish. If it does not finish in the allotted time, then an exception is thrown.

   • Calculate Throughput : boolean

   • Comparison Type : drop-down list with the following options:

     • identical: Considers the output and actual output as a stream of characters.

     • binary: Considers the output and actual output as a stream of bytes.

     • equals: Considers the output and actual output as a XML documents.

   • Feature Status : drop-down list with the following options:

     • progress: Marks test completion as "success", regardless of actual outcome.

     • done: Records actual outcome of test.
