Functionality

Pros:

SoapUI is one of the best software for evaluation of the API's for your systems and the connectivity with the external systems. Using this software you can test the XML requests through the API and note the response received from the external systems. Using this software you can test the WSDL's of your system to check the secure connectivity and secure transfer of records from your system to external system.

Cons:

Sometimes it became tricky to configure the software to match the configuration from your systems so it became bit difficult to use the application.

A must have utility while dealing with SOAP requests

Very pleased with my overall experience. Instead of trial and hit, i can easily get to where i need to be using SoapUI

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

SoapUI has made writing code for SOAP requests easier than it has ever been. All you need is a wsdl file or url and it'll break it down to requests along with it's parameters. You can even send requests and recieve response using SoapUI

Cons:

One thing that can be added here is the code in multiple languages for the sent request. Many other platforms e.g. postman does that so why not?

Functionality

Pros:

The best part of the tool is its GUI which helps us to test the SOAP and the best point is its open source and freely available. Its functional testing as a part includes the drag and drop and performing complex scenarios. We can also perform security testing load testing at a single glance.We can maintain our tests with a few clicks. Its been used by various enterprise business services companies and are making their business work flow simplier

Cons:

There is nothing least about this but this need to be upgraded and come up with few bug fixes sometimes the page gets slow in responding this need to brought and overcome in next editions and versions

Very happy with 'Soap UI'. Best web service testing tool i ever used.

It helped me to achieve my project testing goals in time. No need to test API's one by one anymore. I have wrote test cases for all of my API's. I'm so satisfied with this tool. I just need a one click to execute my test cases.

Pros:

This is my favorite web service testing tool (Rest and Soap Web Service). Beautiful and user friendly UI. I can execute test cases as batches. Reporting functions are also good. It's compatible with 'Groovy' language. Data parametrization is also very helpful when testing API's. It comes with major nun-functional testing types such as load testing, performance testing, stress testing, security testing. I have tested successfully more than 150 API's by using 'Soap UI'. Really helpful.

Cons:

It's better if they can improve reporting functionalities in 'Soap UI' open-source edition. Nothing else. It's perfect.!

Good to work with WebServices

I use it to many purposes, but the mostly used (here in Brazil) is for "Nota Fiscal" webservices, because every now and then, they change something so you need to debug and see what is happening or how to implement the new or changed tags into your system. Here is when SoapUI becomes handy, it will help you track the response structure and values mor easily. I love it!

Pros:

I like it because you learn how to use it very quickly, then you can get very much more productive by using SoapUI to create, test, debug and validate WebServices. You can explore resulting XML payload in a very convenient way, with expansible nodes.

Cons:

There is nothing I don't like in SoapUI, really, it is a very good tool. If I have to suggest something to improve, maybe they could improve the connections management. When you use it the first time you can get confused and start creating connections every time you open the tool and try to get response from a previously viewed WebService. I guess it could be simpler by starting with a saved services list then show all the connections you already have for that service.

SoapUI

If you are not a IT or programming specialist still it will be easy enough to operate. User interface is plain simple and useful. Reporting module is quite useful and helps a lot.

Functionality

Pros:

Best tool for asynchronous API testing. Very easy to operate and most importantly maintain logs for any data during test cycle. Easy to segregate between REST and SOAP based APIs. Customization of parameters and values is really easy and on the go.

Cons:

Bit slow to setup for new project. Crashing history still exist while execution of project. Cache management is not so good.

I am using this software from pdt 2 years. It is very useful in term of testing. You can create, modify the data with the help of xmls. Sometime lengthy xmls can slow down the speed.

Pros:

SoapUI is best open source in terms of testing. Easily user can create and modify the data. Files can be store in it so that next time we can access the same files. UI is very good and easy to use.

Cons:

Sometimes it took too much time to load the heavy data file and also crashes sometime. Because of which all the data can be lost. For beginners it is not very much user friendly.

SoapUI - good or bad?

I found it very useful for testing the product I have been working on. I could get my team to work simultaneously on same module dividing the client and server side implementation between them. Though it's bit tough to find out where and how to add certificates, but we could do that and that way can test the security of the software we are implementing.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

1. Writting the xml requests and editing them is very easy. 2. Useful for developer to test the services without having UI ready. That way 2 modules can be implemented in parallel. 3. Multiple projects can be loaded and tested simultaneously and can be saved for later testing. 4. Since it's easy to use, testers can use it to test the functionality without having much knowledge of coding etc. Just need little knowledge of writing xml requests.

Cons:

1. Configuration/Settings are not very user friendly. 2. Initial load time of software is longer than expected.
