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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

SoapUI makes QI life easier
It is being extensively used for importing web services and also creating a structure for web services. As a QA Automation Engineer, I am using it for API mockups, functional testing and even load testing. The security test feature is really helpful in checking the SQL injection and malicious code attachment with just a few clicks. SoapUI is helping us to deploy the code to the cloud with the help of containers, as all this possible because of the robust integration of SoapUI with the other third-party tools like Bamboo.
- By defining variables, you can customize parameter values without hard coding the values in the whole test-case.
- You can also use external data sheets to retrieve data to your executions.
- MockResponse module should be more enhanced and simplified.
- I wish SoapUI would allow you to make a sample request which only consists of the required fields and leaves the optional fields out of the sample.
- The testing turn round time for a new web service has been decreased drastically and we can get the product out in the market in no time.
We selected SoapUI because it generates tests easily using drag and drop, and point-and-click. It gives powerful data-driven testing with data from files and databases. Scripts can be reused easily.
We had an extra option to integrate it directly with our build tool, Jenkins, and also monitor the ongoing traffic for the live environment.

ReadyAPI was used by multiple QA teams in the organization to create and run API scripts for the APIs being created. The APIs were being created for the fintech to be used, they contained a lot of business logic based on the different needs of the customers. The job of the QAs was to make sure that all of the functionalities are tested before the APIs are pushed to live
None
- Test the APIs before pusing to Live
- Integrate with Jenkins
- Get results of all the scripts by running them overnight
- Help learn new QAs get their feet wet with API testing
- The drag and drop functionality is phenomenal
- Point and click interface makes it easier to learn and build scripts
- Swagger intergration helped the non technical team get a sense of the APIs
- Better reporting tools using ReadyAPI

- Prior Experience with the Product
The Product features like helping with 100% code coverage, assisting in test script creation, integrating with CI/CD, fitting well into the agile environments, great user community were some of the important factors that led to the selection of the tool. Some members of the team had good prior experience with the tool, so they also recommended using the tool.
The overall pricing was also better than other tools present in the market, so that was another big factor

Looking at the current scenarios, I might change the evaluation scenarios because at present there are other tools providing similar or better functionality for API testing. We are currently using Postman in our ongoing project, which seems to be fitting well into our business model. The paid teams collaboration function is a great function to share the scripts across the team using the Postman cloud, and it comes with a lot of ad-ins to integrate directly with build tools like Jenkins.
But looking at ReadyAPI, the team was pretty satisfied with the tool and I don't have anything negative to say about it. Who knows, we might be using it in the next project

No, we did not, as the team didn't feel the need for it. We had people with prior exp for ReadyAPI so we confident enough that we would not be requiring the premium support. Plus, there's plenty of resources available online to help the users, so those came in handy too
No
Not that I could think of. The service was always good though.

SoapUI is used mainly in the QA departement to test web services i.e. REST and SOAP.
I know it is being used in my departement and in other departement
Solve test automation problem and performance testing. not very happy with the load test module
- Records Rest requests, easy way to record them and make functional testing easy
- Records Soap requests, , easy way to record them and make functional testing easy
- Changing parameters on the requests
- Assertion on responses easy too and user can save responses
- Rest Mocking is very nice feature to start testing early and give early feedback
- Sometimes it is not easy to maintain, work flow testing is not intuitive
- Json assertion not very easy to do
- Caching responses does not help getting accrate performance numbers
- Security testing still something new
- Positive repeatable steps, easy to learn
- Positive employees more efficent and effective
- Negative not very good customer service from their side
- Positive help us have more coverage -> more automation -> better quality
Compared with HP Service Test: selected SoapUI as it was way cheaper and easier to learn . Also, I always had bad customer service experience with HP so decided to a different route.
