SoapUI Open Source Reviews & Insights

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.

Good for simple requests, simple scripts, assertions, and small workflows. Also not bad with the Open Source version if savvy with code as you can do a lot with custom functionality.Free version has limited compatibility with scripts/projects created from the Pro version, but functionality-wise can probably be made up with coding. As such, the free version may not be too suitable for complex scripts or for those who are not familiar with coding as functionality/usability may be limited.

It is used in area of integration test by my department. It helps us to generate xml messages to check if configuration was correctly determined. Software can imitate any other system. It’s easy to maintain routing and after initial setup is done it’s very easy to paste and generate messages.

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.

In our organization, SoapUI is mainly used by our Dev team department.

It is used in order to test all of our web services (SOAP, REST), from several sources (ASMX from SharePoint, custom ASMX, PHP web services, etc).

It is also used when there is an issue with technical interfaces between our tools, for example between our CRM and our e-Commerce platform. In order to update/remove data, we are using SoapUI to check or update data manually.

We have also several calls to external API, and if we want to test if they work properly, then we are using SoapUI

Even if there are 2 versions of SoapUI, the free version of SoapUI is very complete.

When you need to test a specific API (SOAP or REST), it is very useful and simple to use.
You can save several projects in SoapUI, so you can access multiple API directly from your SoapUI tool. For example, we are using it for our several environments : (stagging, quality, production, development). So with several projects, we can access several projects / API.

SoapUI, in the free version, does not provide any way to work as a team, you need to send manually the project if you want to share them.

In my organization, we are using SoapUI Open Source in the software development department. We focus on the development of web services for companies in the tourism and hotel sector, so SoapUI has helped us in all our tests and simulations of each of our services, all this in a completely reliable and safe environment.

I recommend it to those developers who have extensive experience in web services because at the beginning it is not usually easy to get up to speed due to the degree of difficulty of the interface and its functions. But in general, once you have mastered its basic functions, it is almost impossible not to stop using it.

I'm using it for API testing and it is very useful to me because it supports the Swagger format. My organization is also using it. I have never faced any problem with this app.

It's best for API testing and functional testing of code. It also supports Swagger and I think ramp formats. UI improvement is needed. Some of my colleagues are also saying that UI should be nice or, if possible, should be browser bases.

SoapUI is an powerful tool for API testing and solid framework.As it is an open source tool, it is totally free for everyone who use web service testing. We send services ad send data through webservices . We can declare the variables and change the values parameters without having code in our test cases. We just load the WSDL address and it shows us all the methods and then we submit the variables and send it and get the result. its interfere is easy to learn

Easy to install with a great interface. We just need to put the WSDL URL and it shows us all the methods present in the WSDL location. We only need to submit the variables and send them and it shows the output in split screen with success or error.
