SOAPUI - Docker

General

This conteiner runs a Soapui 5.5. Can be used to run functional or load tests. The advantage is:

• runs in Jenkins or any Pipeline that supports docker
• no need to install or configure Soapui
• no Memory Consumption based on the GUI interface of SOAPUI
• all tests must run in command line

In my case, I use it to run remotely on my jenkins conteiner: functional tests and load tests written in SOAPUI

How to Use

• go to the folder where your Soapui project is saved
• you do not need to build this image, use this pre-built instead:
  • docker pull linhares/soapui-docker:5.5.0-1.0.0
• run the appropriate docker command. See examples bellow

Parameters

Environment

• LOG_LEVEL - sets the log level on soapui log4 - Eg:

  • -e "LOG_LEVEL=ERROR"
  • Default value is DEBUG

• XMX - sets the max memory for Java - Eg:

  • -e "XMX=4000m"
  • Default value is 1024m

• COMMAND - this env parameter just tells conteiner what command it will run - Eg:

  • -e "COMMAND=loadtestrunner.sh"
  • Default value is testrunner.sh

Command of the Conteiner Here you pass the soapui parameters just like calling it via command line. Follow examples bellow

Examples

All examples assume:

• you are in the folder where your Soapui tests resids
• the test project xml is Barramento-API-V3-soapui-project.xml
• there is a test suite named: SuiteTestes1
• there is a test case named: TestCase-EnvioRecebimento-MultiAnexos
• there is a test load named: LoadTest 1

Just replace for your own names on the examples.

• call simple test

  • docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD":/project linhares/soapui-docker:5.5.0-1.0.0 /project/Barramento-API-V3-soapui-project.xml

• call simple test but specifying suite and testcase to run

  • docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD":/project linhares/soapui-docker:5.5.0-1.0.0 -sSuiteTestes1 -cTestCase-EnvioRecebimento-MultiAnexos /project/Barramento-API-V3-soapui-project.xml

• call load test

  • docker run --rm -it -e "LOG_LEVEL=ERROR" -e "XMX=4000m" -e "COMMAND=loadtestrunner.sh" -v "$PWD":/project linhares/soapui-docker:5.5.0-1.0.0 /project/Barramento-API-V3-soapui-project.xml

  • Pay attention to the env parameters: COMMAND, XMX and LOG_LEVEL

• call specific load test saving the results to a dir with others parameters

  • docker run --rm -it -e "TZ=America/Sao_Paulo" -e "XMX=4000m" -e "COMMAND=loadtestrunner.sh" -v "$PWD":/project linhares/soapui-docker:5.5.0-1.0.0 -sSuiteTestes1 -cTestCase-EnvioRecebimento-MultiAnexos -PQtdArquivosProcesso=2 -m5 -n2 -r -f/project/result -l"LoadTest 1" /project/Barramento-API-V3-soapui-project.xml

  • -m change how many iterations the load test will run

  • -n how many threads will be created in parallel

  • -r export statistics

  • -f output folder of the results

  • -l inform the specific Load Test in case you have many

  • etc. Here you can use all parameters of the soapui loadrunner

Considerations

Initially the logs will show some error messages, just ignore then. Thats because the conteiner does not have a GUI. The tests will run at the end. Just follow the logs.

I used this image as a start point: https://hub.docker.com/r/ilyaavdeev/soapui-testrunner There it installs the SOAPUI 5.5. I just made some tweaks to run heavy load tests.
