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.

Being a commercial tool, there is a lot of expectation to have very smooth set up [of] the framework for the API test automation, but in reality we had challenges in doing that so it would be nice to have an easier setup. The main problem is performance of the tool, which is something SmartBear has to work [on] in all [of] their products. It hangs quite often [and then you] need to restart the application.

ReadyAPI is mostly well suited for testing web services and API's. You can use it to perform all kinds of testing like functional testing, security testing and load testing. Also, you can use it to mock different web services which can be very useful in testing. The tool supports both REST and SOAP services which are the mostly common services used.

It will help you to create envelopes and headers to satisfy WS-Security, WS-Addressing, etc. IT has a wide range of assertion options. If you are still not satisfied, you can write your own assertion with the help of Groovy script and can use any Java library to do so. The Maven Support. You can simply export a TestSuite from SoapUI and run it from outside on your CI/CD tool (i.e. Jenkins, Gitlab, etc.) with the help of Maven.

We compared SoapUI Pro with a lot of other products in the market like Postman and Katalon Studio. SoapUI Pro was the winner. This provides a clean user interface and an excellent way to organize projects. Helped us with test reports and handled multiple testing environments. Our team resued the test scripts efficiently.

Well suited to test and debug various endpoints in different environments. Setting up projects is a breeze and it can be done in no time and the option to import other Soup UI projects is very useful this way a test suite can be passed along several developers to start testing the same or create more test cases.

SoapUI Pro is well suited when there is lack of testing staff or when your company needs through regression testing on a regular basis. It helps to use time efficiently and provide accurate results with lesser usage of manpower. It gives a brief idea about the output of your web services before actual implementation into your system.

SmartBear is a desktop based application for API testing. With the help of this tool, my organization ensures the quality and performance of web-based applications. Drag and drop functionality saved a lot of my time, we don't need to write code manually repetitively. Requires prior knowledge of the product to be able to take advantage of the tool in its entirety.

For integration between two different systems, it is well-suited to show what parameters the client system should send and receive. In order to format output, SoapUI is less appropriate, and it is required to use other formatting tools.

Excellent for testing the connectivity and responses of web services or endpoints that are hosted within any application. However, there are scenarios where it is not very effective; for example, the requests that are made in authentication protocols.

While SoapUI can be used to access REST-style HTTP services, there are other tools that are better suited for this task. As its name suggests, where SoapUI shines is accessing and testing SOAP services. We still find this to be very useful, as we still have a number of SOAP services to maintain. Unfortunately, this will likely become less relevant as time goes on. The industry has clearly moved towards HTTP RESTful services.

It is best suited for CI/CD. The Maven support is superb with minimal dependencies. For Rest APIs , It still needs some improvement but for SOAP It is the best tool in the market. So if your requirement is to test both SOAP and REST, go for it and If its only REST which you want to test, you can look for alternatives.

For experienced soapui users, it's great...you know the ins and outs. For non developer qa engineers, I'd recommend. If you don't have a heavy focus on using the same tools, frameworks in a ci environment, it's a good choice. If you want your tests to run in a particular language, soapui might not be a good choice. If you have top notch SDETs, forcing them to use this might inhibit innovation and flexibility.

SopaUI is the best choice when it comes to testing complicated combination of web services such as RESTful, SOAP, JSON and AMF. Although It can also cover simple HTML GUI test cases by calling web page elements as a recorded order, but it is not a good choice for testing user interfaces or as a replacement to Selenium.

SoapUI NG Pro or SoapUI both can be used to minimize functional and unit testing from an application every time. Instead the API can be tested and saved in SoapUI. This will help even if we upgrade the API to find the backward compatibility.
