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.

Overall, XCTest is a good choice for testing iOS functionality and apps at a basic unit level. In order to thoroughly test the logic, you must add many of those sorts of basic tests, which makes functional UI testing more appropriate for iOS apps. As I mentioned earlier, limited Programming Language Support and no cross platform compatibilities are the only major drawbacks.

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.

We used Appium to do unit testing, but we felt that it was slow and had its own learning curve, so we decided to try XCTest; it seemed faster and more agile to use because we already had knowledge of iOS and the other advantages that I talk before, now all the team is using XCTest.
