  • Although the price was a bit high, the earnings we obtained compensated for the entire initial investment. This tool is really useful in all aspects.

SoapUI Open Source: Good tool for light tasks

Incentivized
Verified User
Manager in Information Technology (5001-10,000 employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Used for testing. There are simple cases like API Testing or connecting to backends to kick off some flows, but processes and flows are also be tested, like starting a workflow and checking that the data propagates correctly down the flow. We also use a script for checking if all environments are up. Automation can also be performed with waits, loops, and for those savvy, you can even put in custom code using Groovy.

Pros

  • Automated workflows
  • Soap requests: good for those who don't really want to play around with configuring headers
  • API Testing

Cons

  • Configuration of REST APIs
  • Can appear clunky
  • Has functionality behind a paywall (i.e. Pro version)

Return on Investment

  • Positive: Free tool
  • Positive: provides a sampler as to what the Pro version can do
  • Negative: may not be the most user-friendly if custom scripts are used
  • Negative: lacks some functionality found in the Pro version
  • Positive: for those familiar with code, the lack of functionality can be made up.
