SoapUI

SoapUI is a tool for software testing of SOAP. The base version is subject to the GNU Lesser General Public License, making it free software. There is also a paid version ( SoapUI pro), which contains additional functionality besides having a support contract.

The soapUI project was initiated by the Swedish company Eviware software. In July 2011 Eviware software from Smart Bear Software was purchased. The soapUI project is still owned by Smart Bear Software on.

Functions

SoapUI covers the following range of functions from:

  • Inspection and invocation of web services
  • Functional testing of web services
  • Load testing of web services
  • Creation of web service Dummies ( Mock services) for the tests.

Technology

SoapUI is completely based on Java and uses the Swing GUI. So it is platform independent. In addition to controlling the GUI tests can also be invoked via the command line, thus ensuring integration into automated test processes.
