Since most of the my projects used this tool and identified security related bugs as well Easy to integrate with Burp Suite ----- ### "SoapUI by SmartBear team is best software for testing interface XML's and API's for your systems." — 5.0/5 > **Mandeep** | *5 November 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: SoapUI is one of the best software for evaluation of the API's for your systems and the connectivity with the external systems. Using this software you can test the XML requests through the API and note the response received from the external systems. Using this software you can test the WSDL's of your system to check the secure connectivity and secure transfer of records from your system to external system. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it became tricky to configure the software to match the configuration from your systems so it became bit difficult to use the application. > > I have used this software for all interface testing and testing the API's and I can say that this is undoubtly best software for testing API's. ----- ### "A must have utility while dealing with SOAP requests" — 5.0/5 > **Moaz** | *28 October 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: SoapUI has made writing code for SOAP requests easier than it has ever been. All you need is a wsdl file or url and it'll break it down to requests along with it's parameters. You can even send requests and recieve response using SoapUI > > **Cons**: One thing that can be added here is the code in multiple languages for the sent request. Many other platforms e.g. postman does that so why not? > > Very pleased with my overall experience. Instead of trial and hit, i can easily get to where i need to be using SoapUI ----- ### "Best tool for testing your web services and make the business to perform their test success in real" — 5.0/5 > **shaik** | *15 April 2018* > > **Pros**: The best part of the tool is its GUI which helps us to test the SOAP and the best point is its open source and freely available. Its functional testing as a part includes the drag and drop and performing complex scenarios. We can also perform security testing load testing at a single glance.We can maintain our tests with a few clicks. Its been used by various enterprise business services companies and are making their business work flow simplier > > **Cons**: There is nothing least about this but this need to be upgraded and come up with few bug fixes sometimes the page gets slow in responding this need to brought and overcome in next editions and versions ----- ### "Very happy with 'Soap UI'. Best web service testing tool i ever used." — 5.0/5 > **Ruwani** | *18 September 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is my favorite web service testing tool (Rest and Soap Web Service). Beautiful and user friendly UI. I can execute test cases as batches. Reporting functions are also good. It's compatible with 'Groovy' language. Data parametrization is also very helpful when testing API's. It comes with major nun-functional testing types such as load testing, performance testing, stress testing, security testing. I have tested successfully more than 150 API's by using 'Soap UI'. Really helpful. > > **Cons**: It's better if they can improve reporting functionalities in 'Soap UI' open-source edition. Nothing else. It's perfect.\! > > It helped me to achieve my project testing goals in time. No need to test API's one by one anymore. I have wrote test cases for all of my API's. I'm so satisfied with this tool. I just need a one click to execute my test cases. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/311034/soapui?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/311034/soapui) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
