SoapUI and its Pro version, ReadyAPI, are widely used tools for integrating, verifying, and testing web services. They are highly scalable and configurable, allowing for custom test script creation and automation of various test activities. Users have found SoapUI useful in validating complex analysis platforms, establishing baselines for customization, and verifying APIs across multiple products with different interfaces like SOAP, REST, AMF, and JDBC.

Yahoo's Technical Account Management team relies on SoapUI to analyze SOAP messages and troubleshoot issues with ad platforms. Developers, integrators, and technical product managers use SoapUI for testing, automation, and support purposes. ReadyAPI is the go-to tool for API testing, making it easy to create and manage tests. It helps in verifying breakages, tracing back problems to ensure correct data returns, validating endpoint functionality, and load testing with specific scenarios using production data.

ReadyAPI supports API testing throughout the digital transformation process from prototyping to deployment. It is also used for API test automation and integration with Jenkins. Moreover, it assists in importing and structuring web services, API mockups, functional testing, security testing, deploying code to the cloud using containers, and integrating with third-party tools like Bamboo. With its comprehensive features for SOAP and REST service testing, ReadyAPI is recommended for a wide range of API testing needs.

Swagger Integration: Many users have praised the ability of SoapUI and ReadyApi to read in endpoints for a restful web service via a Swagger page or definitions file. This feature has been described as extremely helpful, with reviewers appreciating the time-saving aspect of not having to figure things out directly or rely on specs to build their requests. Additionally, the ability to easily update endpoints when they change was seen as a valuable feature.

Groovy Functions: Users have found the addition of groovy functions in SoapUI and ReadyApi to be very useful. They appreciate being able to use a programming language with Java libraries, which provides them with much more flexibility in how they process results and build follow-up requests.

Auto-generation of Test Cases: The auto-generation of test cases in SoapUI Pro has received high praise from users. It gives them a good head start on their testing efforts by building a set of tests that cover at least the happy path scenarios. Users also appreciate the visual guide provided by the test case GUI, which helps them structure their suites and scenarios effectively.

Cons:

  1. Lacking User Interface and Experience: Some users have found SoapUI's user interface to be confusing, old-fashioned, and not user-friendly. They have expressed the need for enhancements in terms of design and usability.
  2. Slow Performance: Several users have experienced slow performance with SoapUI, particularly when loading projects, switching between tabs, and during startup. They have also encountered errors related to insufficient memory, resulting in frustration and delays.
  3. Limited JMS Support and Third-Party Tools Dependency: Users have mentioned that SoapUI relies on an outdated 3rd party program called HermesJMS for JMS interactions. This limitation restricts their ability to run parallel test suites efficiently. Additionally, they have pointed out the limited support for JMS and the need for third-party tools for AMF method discovery.

Well, obviously if the technology and application back end is supported by SoapUI, which 98% of time, it is. However, there are new methods other than Rest, etc. are coming out that would require SoapUI to be compatible. Also, built in popular add-on such as AWS support can be expanded to support similar companies to Amazon.

I think you'd get the most out of SoapUI if you had some scripting knowledge and basic starting knowledge of the technology you're trying to automate (XML/JSON/etc), even if it isn't required to get going. While the GUI does a good job of getting you started I feel you'd be missing out and may have a tougher learning curve when trying to implement more advanced scenarios.

It is very useful for debugging issues with communications, we used it to debug problems with a BPEL application that was having issues communicating with an external web service and was able to resolve through analysis of responses the delta in expected response and actual response formats that were problematic.

Although SoapUI does provide some record-playback style tools to help the beginner, such tests will be very limited. In order to get the most out of the tool, intimate knowledge of the protocol(s) and their technologies is required. SOAP: XML, XPath; REST: JSON.

It's quite a powerful tool but you really need to know Groovy (or Java) to use it effectively. This excludes a lot of QA folks who have not kept up. There seems to be a lot of those.

Is it scalable & robust? Is it easy to use and easy to learn? How detailed are the reports generated by SoapUI? Management readable reports? How easy to implement? How easy to manage licenses? How practical it is to develop test scenarios of certain real time issues to reproduce and retest? How stable, and how professional is support? Social groups on the tool.

SoapUI is really useful if you are creating a product which will have many users. It has a really good support for Load testing. Its always a good choice for the developers to create unit test scenarios using mock services and scripting. You can create various test scenarios with many mock responses based on the input. You can use most of the features of SoapUI in the free version. Developers really don't require the pro version of the SoapUI. But if you want to do security testing or load testing then you need a pro version for which you need to weigh your options as the pro version is not free.

SOAP UI

Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review

I think SOAP UI should be de-facto testing tool for any organization experimenting with web services. I have not seen any testing tool so intuitive and easy to learn as SOAP-UI. However I personally feel the capabilities of load testing/performance testing in SOAP UI are less appropriate than desired. SOAPUI along with LOAD UI is cumbersome to use.
