SoapUI Pro Project Solution Collection-XML assert

in soapui the XML object used here is from  org.w3c.dom package

so you need to read this article carefully before we can use xml object very well.

Node Types - Return Values
The following table lists what the nodeName and the nodeValue properties will return for each node type:

Node Type    nodeName returns    nodeValue returns
Document    #document    null
DocumentFragment    #document fragment    null
DocumentType    doctype name    null
EntityReference    entity reference name    null
Element    element name    null
Attr    attribute name    attribute value
ProcessingInstruction    target    content of node
Comment    #comment    comment text
Text    #text    content of node
CDATASection    #cdata-section    content of node
Entity    entity name    null
Notation    notation name    null

NodeType    Named Constant
1           ELEMENT_NODE
2           ATTRIBUTE_NODE
3           TEXT_NODE
4           CDATA_SECTION_NODE
5           ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE
6           ENTITY_NODE
7           PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE
8           COMMENT_NODE
9           DOCUMENT_NODE
10          DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE
11          DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE
12          NOTATION_NODE

from the soapui you can assert your response xml from the below way:

the default provide script as below:

import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder

def holder = new XmlHolder( messageExchange.responseContentAsXml )
holder.namespaces["ns1"] = "http://ws.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/"
def node = holder.getDomNode( "//ns1:GetCityForecastByZIPResponse[1]" )

assert node != null

in the instance ,it provide these objects we can use:

XmlHolder holder=new XmlHolder("");

        Node[] nodes=holder.getDomNodes("xpath");

        for(int k=0;k<nodes.length;k++){
            NodeList nodelist=nodes[k].getChildNodes();
            for(int j=0;j<nodelist.getLength();j++){

                Node node=nodelist.item(j);
                Log.info("node type :"+node.getNodeType());
                Short type=node.getNodeType();
                if(type==Node.ELEMENT_NODE){
                    String nodename=node.getNodeName();
                    int csize=node.getChildNodes().getLength();
                    String nodevalue=null;
                    if(csize>0){
                        nodevalue=node.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
                    }
                }

            }
        }

use the above groovy script to assert the response xml content as you want .hope this save your time .
