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

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

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.

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.

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

IfI was given a choice to hire only manual testers, I will do this. Otherwise, I won't

This can be used by testers/business analysts who do not know how to code. You can still use Jenkins to invoke tests using API

Pro feature is not really needed if you can code. But if you are willing to learn their UI, it works good for everybody.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

We are using it to test our product web services. Easy to use. Saves lot of time

We use SoapUI for webservice testing. We send request XML payload to server and get a response back from it, for this we need to provide the WSDL url. With Soap UI we can test the performance and security of API . We can do security testing,load testing, Functional testing , SQL injection and many other features.

Therr is nothing i dislike with Soap UI.

I help validate the payloads of the services to verify functionality, the response that returns, in order to obtain the expected results and then consume it in my application.

- Ease of generating a project, just by indicating the wsdl of the service. - Save the request data of the service operation for faster use later. - Comfortable and intuitive interface for a faster and more productive work. - Super light application, can work on computers with few resources. - With the free version you can work completely. - It allows to generate with java, proxies of the services with different existing frameworks such as Jaxrpc or Axis

The learning curve to use the application is average, so a basic user would have a hard time learning how to use it.

What I like most about this software is the way to simulate a web services using the mocks. It is also very simple to use and very simple to understand for us programmers

the graphical interface is not intuitive, I think it is made with javaUI which sometimes complicates things. Also, the configuration of the proxies is a bit more complicated than it should

It's a very complete tool to test SOAP endpoints and REST webservices, you can even create load test with a lot of parameters to simulate production environment concurrency

Sometimes the huge ammount of configuration parameters could be overwhelming, luckily there is tons of information on the web and forums to solve and question or problem

Overall I recommend SOAP UI to just about everyone when in the context of this type of testing. Seven out of ten times the other person is already aware of the software or has used it in the past. It is truly one of the better-made software, and even though I know a great deal of how to use its features, I know that there is still a lot I don't even know about packed away within the menus. I look forward to mastering this piece of software soon.

Once you understand how to execute a Soap service through the user-friendly UI, it is perfect for running through an extensive suite of tests and validations. With on-the-fly edits that you can make in-between cases, you can ensure that you're meeting full coverage results.

Sometimes when importing a WSDL, you may only need to pass a request which includes ONLY required fields. I wish SOAP UI would allow you to make a sample request which only consists of the required fields and leaves the optional fields out of the sample. This would make things faster when I need to work through a heavy workload, but it's still not a huge downside, just one of those nice to have features.

API testing is smooth with SoapUI and the layout of the application is simple and easy to use. I've used Postman before but SoapUI is lightweight and doesn't update daily like the other app.

It is hard to see the text in xml request as the display tends to get smaller. If there's error in response, sometimes it just keep loading before displaying the request timed out.

Very helpful for testing the templates developed throught doc automation tool with custom answer file everytime. Have bee helpful with unit testing for various usecases from image insertion to qr development

Easy to use interface and scripting abilities help create codes to call various rest commands with custom parameter datas to be able to test or run various business requirements directly. Multiple consoles can be run at a time and the ability to download or get generated output as files is very helpful to debug or verify the api developed

Autosave feature isn't available. Also user interface could be improvised for better aid and script review. Though test results are great, they are shown in cumbersome way.

My overall experience is too good with SoapUI. It helps our organization to perform the load testing of our application through which we can enhance our application performance.

The best feature which I like most about this software is load testing and security testing. With this, we can easily do the load testing of our application and also gives us feature to pass the dynamic values to test the APIs. It also help us to find the vulnerabilities in our application by which we can prevent our application from malicious attacks.

As of now, I don't have anything which I don't like about this software.

its a great freeware tool and we are using it regularly to Get the response in XML format that can be used further for simulation testng

it is a great tool that i have been using from the last 2+ years to test the Webservices with a simple UI. it saves a lot time as we have to just provide the WSDL and to connect and all the methods will be shown there to test.it it also suggest which are optional entities and which are mandatory .

it does not provide proper error message , exception that is thrown while testing the WSDL it sometime hang up when a large XML is under execution.

Currently I'm using 'SoapUI' to fulfill my daily API testing. It's very helpful and very powerful tool. Normally I'm executing around 300+ API calls for a day by using this application.

01. Very attractive user interface and easy to use. 02. If your not good at scripting, SoapUI will help you to do it without scripting's. 03. You can add multiple test cases to your test suits. Then you can execute test suite without executing each and every test cases. It's very easy and saves your time. 04. You can reduce test data duplication by Parameterize your test data.

01. SoapUI Open Source - Security and performance testing functionalities should improve. Other than that there is no any considerable cons.

My overall experience with SoapUI is exceptionally good. I'm totally satisfied with how my test cases work out and give detailed reports.

It has a very informative and friendly user interface. Appropriate for beginners as well as experts to test different cases which involves calling various APIs. Helpful for both performance as well as functional testing.

All the features of SOAP UI are not free which restricts me to explore further possibilities of testing with it.

It's a great tool and we are using it regularly to test webservices and API's.

It's a best tool to test webservices and API's and best point is it's open source and feely available. Most of the organizations are using this tool to test their webservices and API's .

Sometimes page gets slow in responding. This thing need to improve and error messages are not proper some times. Also hangs up sometime for large xmls.

I was new to the coding world, i had spent all my years in testing and that too manual, when i used SoapUI for the first time i thought it would be difficult to understand and those groovy scripting might take all my time. But luckily the test cases creation, and scripting was so easy and good that any lay man can understand that easily and can automate things faster.

Need to check the licence version which may cost you a little. Free version does not provide all features

The best tool for automated tests for web services It's simple to use and allow us to create complex test scenarios and give us immediate feedback.

Some features are paidedSome features are paid. Before we purchase the product we must have a free trial with all the features to see if they will fit with our project.

The ease and quickness for testing any web service/web method without having to write the whole program to consume it.

Sometimes it becomes difficult to narrow down the issue as the error displayed is not always very user friendly.

When it comes to API Testing, SoapUI is the first tool that comes to my mind. SoapUI allows testing of SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) & REST (representational state transfers) based API's. Its interface is very user friendly and Tester's can easily write, run, integrate, and even automate checks quickly. Even if you are a beginner and starting your API Testing journey, you can definitely start with SoapUI.

Based on my usage and needs; I haven't experienced any issues so far.

Encryption is the best parrot this software as user can encrypt the xml come easily and hit the server.

Need to be more user friendly as intellisense will prove useful if handling huge amount of XMLs

Nice application to test your APIs. Performance testing can also be achieved using SOAPUI

Sometimes the application takes time to startup
