1. Using Log variable
    log.info("Any Text message " + anyVariable)

2. Using Context variable
    def myVar = context.expand( '${#TestCase#SourceTestStep}') //will expand TestCase property value into the new variable
    context.testCase  // returns the current testCase handle

3. Using TestRunner variable
    testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("TestStepName")
    testRunner.testCase // return the handle to current testCase
    testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.testSuites["My_TestSuite"]

4. Using MessageExchange variable
    messageExchange.getEndpoint() //endpoint to the selected teststep
    messageExchange.getTimestamp()    //timestamp
    messageExchange.getTimeTaken()    //time taken to process the request/response

5. Using Project, TestSuite, TestCase, TestStep methods
    def project = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project
    def project = context.testCase.testSuite.project

    def myTestSuite = project.getTestSuiteAt(IndexNumber)
    def myTestSuite = project.getTestSuiteByName("Name of the TestSuite")

    def myTestCase = myTestSuite.getTestCaseAt(IndexNumber)
    def myTestCase = myTestSuite.getTestCaseByName("Name of the TestCase")

    def myTestStep = myTestCase.getTestStepAt(IndexNumber)
    def myTestStep = myTestCase.getTestStepByName("Name of the TestStep")

6. RawRequest & RawResponse
    messageExchange.getRequestContentAsXml.toString()
    messageExchange.getResponseContentAsXml.toString()

7. groovyUtils & XmlHolder
    def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )
    def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder ("Assert_Script#Response")

8. Converting String into Integer & Integer into String using groovy
    anyStringVar = anyIntegerVar.toString()
    anyIntegerVar = anyStringVar.toInteger()

9. Reading & Writing user-defined property with Groovy
    def userIdInStep = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName( "UserDefinedProperty" )
    def userIdStr = userIdInStep.getPropertyValue( "myPropertyName" );
    userIdInStep.setPropertyValue("myPropertyName", "StringValueAsInput")

10. Refer soapUI API docs & go soapUI Pro inorder to get Advanced functionality without writing code ;-)

Happy Scripting!! Do share this blog post with others and also share any useful scripts/ideas if you have.
