Pros

Swagger Integration: Many users have praised the ability of SoapUI and ReadyApi to read in endpoints for a restful web service via a Swagger page or definitions file. This feature has been described as extremely helpful, with reviewers appreciating the time-saving aspect of not having to figure things out directly or rely on specs to build their requests. Additionally, the ability to easily update endpoints when they change was seen as a valuable feature.

Groovy Functions: Users have found the addition of groovy functions in SoapUI and ReadyApi to be very useful. They appreciate being able to use a programming language with Java libraries, which provides them with much more flexibility in how they process results and build follow-up requests.

Auto-generation of Test Cases: The auto-generation of test cases in SoapUI Pro has received high praise from users. It gives them a good head start on their testing efforts by building a set of tests that cover at least the happy path scenarios. Users also appreciate the visual guide provided by the test case GUI, which helps them structure their suites and scenarios effectively.

Automation with SoapUI

Rating: 8 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use SoapUI in the QA test environment to automate some of our testing.

Pros

  • Allows automated test cases. As with all automation the dark side is the development time involved but for products that require frequent testing that investment in time has paid long term dividends.
  • Fully programmable using groovy. I did not know Groovy prior to using SoapUI but it's so similar to Java that the transition was seamless.
  • I find it quite useful to parse the response from one call and use that as input to the next.

Cons

  • The learning curve was difficult. I struggled to get it to do anything useful at first.
  • I'd like to see more examples to get newbies started.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's quite a powerful tool but you really need to know Groovy (or Java) to use it effectively. This excludes a lot of QA folks who have not kept up. There seems to be a lot of those.

SOAPUI tool for webservices testing.

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We work on web services development and SoapUI is a great tool. It helps testing both functional and load in a very systematic way and its support for Groovy script helps build the automated testing for the QA engineers on my team. It is a reliable tool even for regression testing and as a developer i have been using this from last 3 years and its help testing both SOAP and REST services. I would highly recommend this tool and its very easy to use.

Pros

  • Used in Rest based webservices
  • Used in Soap based webservices
  • Used for Functional testing
  • Good LoadUI tool, easy to check result response.

Cons

  • MAC-OS tool needs improvement.

Likelihood to Recommend

For SOAP service awesome tool. For REST you have other options available too but still a good tool to use.
One of the best tool in market for webservice testing. Groovy support is the best.
