SoapUI

Best tool for API testing

Comments: I found it very useful for API automation testing . It is easy-to-use interface will enhance your productivity . I prefer soap ui over postman due to it's security feature and easy accessibility. It is best tool for asynchronous testing.

Pros:

Soap UI is best java based application for API testing . It provides soap as well as rest API testing .We can do data driven testing using Soap UI. It supports multiple customizable format and also provide automatic testing through command-line interface. It provides an easy-to-use interface and user can import WSDL file for project setup.

Cons:

I haven't found any issue yet but some time it take lots memory in background.

One of the best tool for API request

Comments: Overall I have very good experience with SOAPUI. No least things to comment.

Pros:

I have used SoapUi for more than 5 years and its been highly useful interms of running jobs, API requests and creating our own automated script runner for SOAP requests

Cons:

I dont have any least things to say about this software as I used it on daily basis to regularly check request/response with the backend system

A good experience, facing some issues to work smooth

Comments: A good experience, facing some issues to work smooth

Pros:

It works fine for API functional testing

Cons:

It becomes tricky to create new APIs and collections

Review of SoapUI from Smartbear

Comments: SoapUI does the majority of what we need fine. We like that it loads sample requests from the service you attach to it, it is useful for cases like ours where you are not provided documentation on the request format. However, our biggest issue came from this feature being unable to be used for any large service, which unfortunately for us means we cannot load requests for several of our more important services.

Pros:

We use an antiquated / custom Soap service which we found was unable to be read by some other SOAP parsers. This software was the only one we found that was able to do the job.

Cons:

I believe the program was written in Java and has a huge fault when we use it. One of our SOAP services has 100+ endpoints, so much so that SoapUI can't handle loading sample requests for the entire endpoint and will freeze the computer. We have never been able to find a workaround for this. It works fine for our smaller services but once the services get big with large requests, it will crash 1/4 or 1/3 of the way through its loading.

Not the best tool for API testing, however it work good enough

Comments: Not the best tool for API testing, however it work good enough

Pros:

it allows to easily generate an API request for functional test

Cons:

It cannot be easily shared through team members

Quick api testing software

Comments: Best tool to do developer unit testing to verify REST or HTTP responses without much hassle

Pros:

Best security and api testing interface. Easy to do code edits using open source code process. Can run multiple tests parallelly. Unit testing made easy and supports wsdl file uploads

Cons:

Could have improved code building features to suggest and auto complete script writing. Multiple tabs sometimes is a trouble and code or file deleted is hard to retrieve

WORKS AS EXPECTED

Comments: Has been fair with no true issues that are troublesome

Pros:

It is easy to use and offers a free trial

Cons:

Wish it had more options and customizing

Excellent tool for API testing

Comments: Overall, SoapUI is an Excellent tool for API testing. Simply by loading the WSDL address, we can view all the available methods and submit variables to get results

Pros:

- Ability to test web services with ease.- Multiple authentication- Improved proficiency in Groovy scripting language.- It allows us to easily add the WSDL endpoint and generate sample XML requests, which is a great advantage.

Cons:

- Limited support for virtual services - The paid subscription may not be affordable for individuals, although it is reasonably priced for company use. However, the free version can still be used for basic testing needs.

As a QA Engineer "Soap-UI" is my day maker. It's very easy to test API's with this product.

Comments: It helps to complete my day to day testing tasks with more efficiently. It saves my time.

Pros:

01 . Any type of users (Beginners or Experts for API testing) can easily adopt to the user-interface and testing process by using "soap-UI" for couple of hours. And now i'm expert at this software. 02. By defining variables, you can customize parameter values without hard coding the values in whole test-case. 03. You can also use external data sheets to retrieve data to your executions. 04. You can simply send/receive multiple API calls and responses from different API's by just executing a single test suite. 05. Soap-UI provides very large scale of testing methods. examples : Load testing and Functional testing methods including security tests's. 06. SoapUI Open Source product is totally free for anyone who interested in web-service testing and also SoapUI Pro version gives you three types of reporting methods (Printable , Data Export , HTML Reports). I have used all of these versions personally. It's amazing.

Cons:

01. Some times it's little bit slow when you work with large test cases. 02. When generating test results, soap ui open source doesn't give you much options comparing to pro version. 03. you need to know about "Groovy Scripts" If you want to create automated test plans in SoapUI open source version. 04. Subscription plan prices are bit high if you planned to go through Pro versions. Other than that there are no any cons to mention about this product.

SoapUI: A swiss Army Knife for Automation testing with an user friendly platform.

Comments: We have integrated the SoapUI with our project to achieve continuous delivery of the project. The security test feature is really helpful in checking the SQL injection and malicious code attachment with just few clicks. SoapUI is helping us to deploy the code to cloud with help of containers, as all this possible because of the robust integration of SoapUI with the other third part tools like Bamboo.

Pros:

SoapUI is a swiss army knife for automation testing with user friendly user interface as it provides the wide range of testing features in a single pack. API functional testing allows us to add the test form which also scrutinize the third party API for vulnerability. While creating the test form we can also add and integrate it with the mock data to check the result for bulk raw or real data. Groovy code templates allow us to add the macros. The real time statistics show the detail view for running test. SoapUI by SMARTBEAR support is really impressive as you can get the help from experts when we are stuck some area in it.

Cons:

MockResponse module should be more enhanced and simplified. Script libraries should be also in Open-Source version. Fuzzing Scan module for testing vulnerability is complex as a beginner. Learning curves are sharp but the proper documentation by SoapUI is covering it.

Uat and straight through rest runs made easy

Comments: Very helpful for testing the templates developed throught doc automation tool with custom answer file everytime. Have bee helpful with unit testing for various usecases from image insertion to qr development

Pros:

Easy to use interface and scripting abilities help create codes to call various rest commands with custom parameter datas to be able to test or run various business requirements directly. Multiple consoles can be run at a time and the ability to download or get generated output as files is very helpful to debug or verify the api developed

Cons:

Autosave feature isn't available. Also user interface could be improvised for better aid and script review. Though test results are great, they are shown in cumbersome way.

Used to be the best

Pros:

No doubt it is among the best testing tools for SOAP, with plenty of features and support for security and parallel testing. Very easy to view the test outputs.

Cons:

It used to be the best, it is now behind the competition I think because it lacks more flexibility to save testing projects, manage test assets and advanced test automation features.

Perfect little package to get a lot done!

Comments: Overall I recommend SOAP UI to just about everyone when in the context of this type of testing. Seven out of ten times the other person is already aware of the software or has used it in the past. It is truly one of the better-made software, and even though I know a great deal of how to use its features, I know that there is still a lot I don't even know about packed away within the menus.
I look forward to mastering this piece of software soon.

Pros:

Once you understand how to execute a Soap service through the user-friendly UI, it is perfect for running through an extensive suite of tests and validations. With on-the-fly edits that you can make in-between cases, you can ensure that you're meeting full coverage results.

Cons:

Sometimes when importing a WSDL, you may only need to pass a request which includes ONLY required fields. I wish SOAP UI would allow you to make a sample request which only consists of the required fields and leaves the optional fields out of the sample. This would make things faster when I need to work through a heavy workload, but it's still not a huge downside, just one of those nice to have features.

SOAPUI -Single Tool for all your API Testing (Manual as well automated Testing)

Comments: When i started learning the tool , in beginning i faced difficult in understanding the tool and its features as the UI is bit complex to understand and make it user friendly in few sessions.
Also it has free and paid version , and in paid version you can find many good features for reporting as well.
In paid version you get various types of support from the vendor also you can try for trial of pro version.
Once i got used to the tool it was good experience to perform API testing on it .
It had wide range of features be it logging , reporting , passing parameters , authentication, assertions to test your test cases and many more .

Pros:

The tool is good and very helpful if you want to perform end to end API testing of your application. It supports both REST as well as SOAP protocol while creating a project which is under test. The pro version of SOAPUI contains many useful features which you can use them easily. We can import the properties from various different sources while performing API testing. Also we can pass parameters and inputs from one step to another which is very required while performing integrated API testing between different features of the applications. Also you can save the projects for your future uses.

Cons:

when you are new to SOAPUI its been difficult to understand the tool in one go .it takes some time to understand and make the tool user friendly.

SoapUi --platform to test WSDL

Comments: its a great freeware tool and we are using it regularly to Get the response in XML format that can be used further for simulation testng

Pros:

it is a great tool that i have been using from the last 2+ years to test the Webservices with a simple UI. it saves a lot time as we have to just provide the WSDL and to connect and all the methods will be shown there to test.it it also suggest which are optional entities and which are mandatory .

Cons:

it does not provide proper error message , exception that is thrown while testing the WSDL it sometime hang up when a large XML is under execution.

Pioneer in API testing and still one of best options

Comments: We use SoapUI for web service/ soap calls. Here TestSuites and script based tests come very handy. The soapUI project used to be part of our project deliverables. Lately we use Postman more and more, since Rest is becoming a standard for APIs.

Pros:

The support fir for web service/ soap calls is great. Creating script based tests is simple and come very handy. I also like that SoapUI provides you with default request when you import wsdl which speeds up testing.

Cons:

The support for rest/json is not so great. The UI could be more user friendly.

Help to build rest UI

Comments: Tested many web services using this tool and get xml compenent info to build more accurate web service.

Pros:

It is very easy to use. We can make xml request through tool and get response from web service. Easy to pass required paramater in request XML. It also help to integrater to test the web service.

Cons:

Passing credentials are difficult and some time we do not know the actual reason of bad response. It takes time to load the request xml.

SOAPUI Review

Comments: I am pretty happy with SOAP UI tool. I am an integration engineer and this tool makes my life easier.

Pros:

It makes both Developers and Tester life easier with Webservice(SOAP and REST) Automation. Really helpful in creating Sanity and Function Test suite for SOAP and REST webservices. Supporting Groovy is added features we can make use of it. We can even have JDBC connection to cross check something in the database. It supports Load testing as well which gives extra added features. It validate the SOAP XML request and response along with some assertion. Overall it is good tool for web service testing.

Cons:

We can have some report generation on the test suit results. We can have some configurable email templates , which trigger the test suite results with report.

Easy Automation by SoapUI

Pros:

I was new to the coding world, i had spent all my years in testing and that too manual, when i used SoapUI for the first time i thought it would be difficult to understand and those groovy scripting might take all my time. But luckily the test cases creation, and scripting was so easy and good that any lay man can understand that easily and can automate things faster.

Cons:

Need to check the licence version which may cost you a little. Free version does not provide all features

An API tool for testing SOAP and REST APIs

Comments: This software is widely used by many organizations and this tool is must to have tool for develpers developing and testers for interfaces.

Pros:

SmartBear is a desktop based application for API testing. With the help of this tool, my organization ensure the quality and Performance of web-based applications. Point and Click property speed up the API testing. Functional Test cases can be reuse for load testing (Using LoadUI Pro) User can dynamically measure Functional Test Coverage. Supports Test Automation.

Cons:

1. There is no option for test scheduling. 2. There is no UI available to use drag and drop like useful feature.

Flexible and easy to use

Comments: Good and fast tool for testing webServices, and ececuting test cases.

Pros:

Very easy to configure the webServices both Soap and Rest, and also for testing Mock services.

Cons:

Debugging is not very intutive, as this use groovy script, which is sparely known.

it's a very helpfull tool to try web services. I always lean on it,

Comments: It's free and let me do my job, I can save my projects, No objections at all

Pros:

It's easy to use, you can find good documentation on its webpage, it's free, you can run soap, text, ans rest services.

Cons:

I don't have anything bad to say about it, It my everyday tool in my actual job , I've found other ones like postman or google rest, but I always return to SoapUi

Excelent tool for development / testing SOAP and REST apis.

Comments: It was the first API testing tool I used, like 10 years ago and I am still using SoapUI for a bunch of API testing project, even Soap and Rest.

Pros:

Simplicity and easy-to-use. It is very easy to set up a Soap/Rest project and start working with those APIs. I use SoapUI mostly for testing purpose, it is possible to generate differents request for the same end-point and test different combination of data.

Cons:

The community edition contains some known bugs related to the UI Editor. Sometimes the software crashes and user needs to reset it.

Helpful tool to test APIs

Comments: My overall experience is good and I will recommend my friends to test the APIs.

Pros:

— easy to use and open source also. — this software provides ease to generate a project by providing WSDL. — lightweight application.

Cons:

It gets slow for large test cases. It takes more time to startup and make the system slow.

Automated UI Testing

Comments: In our teams we usually have from 2 to 3 testers fully booked all the time. With the arrival of Soap UI as a tool for a Software Development Life Cycle, we have manage to spent less time on testing, focusing our resources on development good test cases using Soap UI and then just let them run automatically.

Pros:

SOAP UI is a great tool to perform automated UI Testing. It solves a common problem when testing applications and it is that usually they are subject to human factor. In today's standards, everybody knows that you should try to automate as much as possible your testing. A task that it used to be complicated due to the lack of tools.

Cons:

Generally speaking, it is quite good. At the beginning maybe there is a learning curve but once you get used to it, everything runs smoothly.
