SoapUI Operator Using Groovy Script

In SoapUI, we can use the Groovy Script editor to perform Arithmetic operations. The Arithmetic operator is used to perform a simple operation in SoapUI Groovy Script like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc.

// Addition of two number 
int a;
int b;
int c;
// assign the value to the respected variable and b
a = 5;
b = 20;
// perform the sum of two number and assign their results to another variable c.
c = a + b;
// print the sum of two number using the groovy script
log.info ( "Sum of two number is :" + c) );  /* log is a global variable, and info function is used to display the number. */

// Or we can use varibale in groovy Script follows as
a = 10  // assign varible a
b = 20  // assign varible b
c = a + b   // Store the sum of a + b into c
log.info ( "Sum of two number is :" + c)  //  print the sum

The following are the operation supported by the groovy scripting in a SoapUI.

Arithmetic Operators

Addition Operator / String Concatenation (+)
Subtraction Operator (-)
Multiplication Operator (*)
Division Operator (/)
Modulus or Remainder Operator (%)

To create a groovy file in SoapUI, right-click on TestStep and choose Groovy Script to open the editor. Save the groovy file as Groovy Script Arithmetic and then write the following code, as shown below.

Groovy Script Arithmetic

/* Arithmetic operator example */
// Addition Operator
int sum = 20 + 30
log.info ( "Addition of two number is :" + sum)
sum1 = 25 + 25
log.info ( "Sum of two number is :" + sum1)

// Concatenation of two string using (+) operator
String name = "Harry" + " Potter";
log.info ( "String Concatenation of two number is :" + name);

// Subtraction Operator
int sub = 30 - 10
log.info ( "Subtraction of two number is :" + sub)

// Multiplication Operator
int mul = 30 * 10
log.info ( "Multiplication of two number is :" + mul)

// Division Operator
int div = 30 / 10
log.info ( "Division of two number is :" + div)

// Modulus Operator
int mod = 20 % 3
log.info ( "Modulus of two number is :" + mod)

To execute the above groovy script in a SoapUI tool, click the Run button that displays the following output.

Unary Operators

A unary operator is a single operator that works with only one operand to produce a new value.

Right-click on TestStep and choose Groovy Script to open the editor. Save the groovy file as Groovy Script Unary and then write the following code, as shown below.

Groovy Script Unary

/* Unary Operator example */
// Increment Operator
int a = 5
a++   // a = a + 1, post-increment 
log.info ("Result :" + a);

int x = 5;
++x   // pre increment
log.info ("Result :" + x);

// decrement Operator
int b = 5
b--   // a = a - 1, post decrement 
log.info ("Result :" + b);

int c = 5
--c   // a = a + 1 pre decrement
log.info ("Result :" + c);

To execute the above groovy script in a SoapUI tool, click the green color Run button that displays the following output, as shown below.

Assignment Operator

The assignment operator is used in the groovy script to assign the value either on its right or the left. Generally, the assignment operators use equal sign (=), +=, -=, *=, /=, %=.

Right-click on TestStep and choose Groovy Script to open the editor. Save the groovy file as Groovy Script Assignment and then write the following code, as shown below.

/* Assignment Operator */
int a = 10
a += 20  // a = a + 20
log.info("result is " + a);

int b = 20
b -= 10  // b = b - 10
log.info("result is " + b);

int c = 10
c *= 20  // c = c * 20
log.info("result is " + c);

int d = 20
d /= 10   // d = d / 10
log.info("result is " + d);

int e = 22
e %= 10  // e = e % 10
log.info("result is " + e);
