Looping over CSV file data and driving tests with Groovy

Whether it is for loading test data or writing reports, using external data files can be a key part of automated testing. Typically, you might need to read test data from a file and loop over some test steps until there is no more data. In this recipe, we see how this can be achieved easily using several reusable Groovy TestSteps.

Getting ready

For example, let's say we have a small CSV file of invoice data that we want to use to drive our tests:

1,comp1,100.0,2014-12-01 00:00:00
2,comp2,200.0,2014-12-02 00:00:00
3,comp3,300.0,2014-12-03 00:00:00

You can find this data in <chapter2 samples>/invoice.csv.

We will read each line and extract the values into properties, for example, to do something useful, for example, populating a web service request.

I have provided a completed SoapUI project GroovyFiles-soapui-project.xml in the Chapter2 samples.

How to do it...

I'm going to break this down into three separate Groovy TestSteps...
