SoapUI. The Swiss-Army Knife of Testing.
Whether you’re a tester, developer, business analyst, or manager, SoapUI has something for everyone.
From the perspective of non-technical people, you may be more concerned about these :
- Associate Test Requirement with Test Case
- Multi Environment Support
If you’re running your tests in different environments, such as staging and production, you’ll love this. In SoapUI you are able to quickly change test setup depending on target environment.
- Data-driven tests
Creating data-driven tests in SoapUI Pro is remarkably easy. Use the DataSource TestStep to read and loop test data from external sources, including Excel, XML, JDBC, and Files.
- Record interactions with API automatically
You can quickly get your undocumented API under test by recording your interactions with the API and automatically create test suites for an API from your interactions with it.
- Create a Load Test through Functional Test easily
In order to create a Load Test, you just right click on a Functional Test and run it as a load test.
- Use drag and drop to create any test scenario easily
For non-technical users, use drag and drop to create any test scenario – simple or complex.
- Service Simulation (Mocking)
MockServices in SoapUI gives you the unique ability to mimic Web services and create/run Functional and Load Tests against them even before they are implemented.
- Custom Responses
Customize responses for a given operation. Use the advanced scripting features to simulate any kind of desired behavior – fixed responses, random errors, dynamic results, and much more.
- Integrate with Git
Save your composite Projects in Git or GitHub. The Git plugins is a great template for integrating with any SCM.
Composite Projects make it easy to work on projects in teams. Now that you created you SoapUI Pro project, you can share it with the team and add it to your Source Control - Git .
- Reporting Tools
SoapUI Pro gives you three incredibly powerful and flexible reporting tools: Printable, Data Export, and HTML Reports. With one click, you can generate reports for your tests from within the UI at Project, TestSuite, TestCase, or LoadTest level. Just as easy, print or export them into any standard format, including PDF, HTML, Word and Excel, and customize them any way you like. You can do all this from both inside the tool as well as the command-line.
- Test Coverage
With its breakthrough Web Services Coverage, SoapUI lets you dynamically analyze how well your SOAP or REST Service contract is covered by your Functional Tests.
- Integrate with Jira
Report Test results as Issues in Jira. Of course, the thought here is to use this as an issue tracker.
- Send Mail Test Step
Use this TestStep to send emails from your tests.
From the perspective of technical users, besides above, you may also be concerned about these :
- Help in SoapUI
Use the help icon when you want explanations of gui elements or what settings mean. Use the Read More link to find out the purpose of the feature, or get more information.
- Code Template
Define code templates.
- Create sample requests using WSDL
If you want, you can directly add a WSDL, create sample requests for all the operations in the service, and even create a mock of the imported WSDL – all at once.
- Point-and-Click Testing for both XML and JSON
With one click, you can add any number of assertions to a TestStep for validating incoming messages.
You know the power of point-and-click testing for XML - now that same power is available for JSON. You can do property transfers and add assertions for JSON with a simple right click.
- Provides Property Transfer wizards
For the more experienced user, SoapUI Pro provides Property Transfer wizards that can automatically transfer properties for selected content, making the creation of complex TestCases or Message Flows easy.
- Global Properties
Define custom global application properties.
- Support advanced scripting to do anything with your tests
For maximal control and flexibility, SoapUI Pro also offers out-of-the-box support for advanced scripting that lets you do virtually anything with your tests. Groovy is selected as the programming language , it's a scripting language which is very similar to Java.
- Offer a set of command-line tools
SoapUI also offers a set of command-line tools that let you run your Functional/Load Tests and MockServices from just about any task scheduler, or as an integrated part of your build process. You can even customize the test execution to override test parameters, control what tests to run or output, and much more.
- Develop favorite features as Plugins
SoapUI allows anyone to easily develop their favorite features as Plugins.
- Interact with Database
Intuitive and rich exploration and analysis of databases. Test and verify input and results from any JDBC database while testing your Web services and applications.
- WSDL Refactoring
When you have a situation where the WSDL has updated, you can refactor it.
The WSDL refactoring in SoapUI NG Pro easily updates all of your tests by providing a simple wizard that allows you to map old message elements to new ones instead of manually looking at, and replacing, project code.
