Progress Test Studio vs. SoapUI Open Source, supported by SmartBear

The product is easy to learn and any customer making web based application will greatly benefit from a product like this and cut down on testing time. As new code builds go out it's an excellent tool for regression testing. The load testing feature has a great benefit as well and lets us test the limits of the application on different platforms and allows us to tweak the certain area and test again.

If you are making system upgrade project and you have existing system working and you want to imitate messages that are going in production but without making any data loads or switch it’s very suitable and convenient software. It serves well in manual test scenarios but wouldn’t be as good in case of mass tests.

• Easy to configure.
• Plugins can be integrated easily with visual studio.
• Takes less time to run all the test scenarios, [and] also generates graphics report for all the tests.
• Keeps bugs [out of] the production.

• The user documentation and training materials seem to be outdated a bit.
• Integration with newer version control systems such as VSTS is buggy.

• I actually like SoapUI as it is, I have not found things to improve, except for the speed of response is very complex services.

Very easy to record both http/https pages and supports all major browsers. Test Element repository is the killer feature that gives you piece of mind and confidence to write and reuse elements for several different scenarios. The built-in testing framework which also includes the .NET Framework Library. Integration with Jira. Supports source control such as GIT and Team Foundation.

SoapUI Open Source is free, which is good for light use or simple things here and there. There is a Pro version that makes things more user-friendly. I also like that custom code can also be used for doing more complicated tasks. I like that SoapUI can have a process/flow (conditional/loop/waits/etc.) set up for scripting purposes, which is good for beginners and light users. However, I think the user interface has room for improvement.

• Time window needed for regression tests has decreased more than 50 percent.

• Testing resolves most of the issues in the development phases.
• User friendliness of the app makes it good.
• Overall client happiness depends on the clean project, which is possible by testing.
