SoapUI - Capabilities

SoapUI is rich in the following five aspects −

• Functional Testing
• Security Testing
• Load Testing
• Protocols and Technologies
• Integration with other tools

Let’s learn more about each of these capabilities.

Functional Testing

• SoapUI allows the testers to write functional API tests in SoapUI.

• SoapUI supports Drag-Drop feature that accelerates the script development.

• SoapUI supports debugging of tests and allows testers to develop data driven tests.

• SoapUI supports multiple environments making it easy to switch among QA, Dev, and Prod environments.

• SoapUI allows advanced scripting (the tester can develop their custom code depending on the scenarios).

Security Testing

• SoapUI performs a complete set of vulnerability scan.

• SoapUI prevents SQL Injection to secure the databases.

• SoapUI scans for stack overflows, caused by documents huge in size.

• SoapUI scans for cross-site scripting, which occurs when service parameters are exposed in messages.

• SoapUI performs fuzzing scan and boundary scan to avoid erratic behavior of the services.

Load Testing

• SoapUI distributes the load tests across n number of LoadUI agents.

• SoapUI simulates high volume and real-world load testing with ease.

• SoapUI allows advanced custom reporting to capture performance parameters.

• SoapUI allows end-to-end system performance monitoring.

Protocols & Technologies

SoapUI supports a wide range of protocols −

• SOAP – Simple Object Access Protocol
• WSDL – Web Service Definition Language
• REST – Representational State Transfer
• HTTP – Hyper Text Transmission Protocol
• HTTPS – Hyper Text Transmission Protocol Secured
• AMF – Action Message Format
• JDBC – Java Database Connectivity
• JMS – Java Messaging Service

Integration with Other Tools

• Apache Maven Project
• HUDSON
• JUnit
• Apache – Ant and more….
