It is a strong fit for end-to-end acceptance and regression testing inside the browser.

If you are making system upgrade project and you have existing system working and you want to imitate messages that are going in production but without making any data loads or switch it’s very suitable and convenient software. It serves well in manual test scenarios but wouldn’t be as good in case of mass tests.

  • Async operations for browser-based validation tests. This kind of feature is a must-have for building tests to scale.

  • It would be great to see the Protractor API implemented successfully inside a non-Angular web application.

  • I actually like SoapUI as it is, I have not found things to improve, except for the speed of response is very complex services.

Cypress.io is an alternative end-to-end test framework that does NOT use Selenium. Since I've only evaluated this tool as a possible solution, my estimation of its performance against Protractor is incomplete. However, if you and your team are looking for automation solutions outside of the Selenium scope, then Cypress.io may be a good fit given the problems you're trying to solve.

Every application has its own features and UI design but SoapUI is also very good at testing. All features are awesome.
