soapUI Pro

Values and Benefits

soapUI Pro –
worth paying for
soapUI is the world’s leading Web Service Testware. With over one million downloads,
it’s the de facto tool for SOA testing and available in two editions; a basic Open Source
version and the full version soapUI Pro, targeting professional users. Even though the
Open Source version is a great award-winning tool, soapUI Pro the right choice for
professional users with high demands. The reason is as simple as clear; soapUI Pro is
developed to fulfill the needs of a corporate organization such as more advanced testing
functionality, productivity focus, team testing support, great usability, world class sup-
port and qualified training.

soapUI Pro is a small investment with an immediate pay off. The price model is a yearly
license fee including all Software Updates for 12 months. This allows you to always
work with the latest release of the software. When a new version of the software is
available, just download it. No extra fee is charged!

Advanced functionality
Below are the most valued and appreciated soapUI Pro features described.

• Data Driven Tests

soapUI Pro provides functionality for easily creating and running data driven tests. The time savings are huge; with
soapUI Pro a Test Case can be created in minutes instead of alternatives taking several hours. Yet bigger savings can
be made using soapUI Pro for data driven load tests or for test chaining where the result from one test case can be
used as input to another test case

• Reporting
soapUI Pro provides extensive reporting functionality including reports on different levels (project, Test Suite,Test
Case …) and different formats like pdf, cvs, xls and xml as well as easy customization options. Use soapUI to create
reports and use your valuable resources on something else.

• Team Testing
soapUI Pro provides functionality crucial for team testing. In a project involving several people you often come to a
situation where two team members are updating different test cases at the same time. If you only have one project file
it’s impossible to make simultaneous updates and it’s very hard to synchronize the test cases manually.

• Contract Coverage
soapUI Pro provides unique contract coverage functionality. Reliable coverage figures are fundamental for effective
testing; knowing what you have tested and what you haven’t is great support when you shall decide if you have tested
enough or where to focus you r efforts next. Coverage metrics are also useful showing compliance to customer require-
ments.

• Groovy Script Library
soapUI Pro provides functionality enabling reuse of Groovy scripts. Your scripts can be stored in a central library
accessible from any other script within soapUI. This saves you from spending a lot of time on copying and mechanical
updates.

• Requirements Management
soapUI Pro provides basic functionality for requirements management. You can in an easy way add, remove, edit,
import and export requirements. Links from a requirement to specific test cases can be used to verify that your product
fulfills a set of requirements.

• Refactoring
soapUI Pro provides functionality valuable when updating your SOA. If the data structures change, for example
renaming of information elements, soapUI Pro will go through your tests and automatically update all references to the
element name in all your tests. This saves time; a change can be made in minutes instead of days or even weeks, and it
gives you peace in mind; you know that the name has been changed wherever it’s used.

Easy to learn - Easy to use

We know you want to spend your valuable time and energy solving your customers’ problems and not waste it strug-
gling with your development tools. To support you we work hard with usability in general and we’ve also developed
some specific features to make your life easier.

• Form-based Request Editor

soapUI Pro provides functionality to create request messages in an easy way. The basic format for request messag-
es is XML. This function provides a user friendly form-based interface where you can create request messages without
knowing XML. Even people with deep XML knowledge can benefit from this feature; you get a better overview and the
editing work goes much faster.

• XPath Wizards
soapUI Pro provides functionality to generate XPath code automatically. This function saves a lot of time; generat-
ing one single XPath expression by hand can take several minutes and with this feature you’ll do it in a few seconds.
It’s highly appreciated by all kinds of testers, both technical and non-technical. Most of our users apply this feature
frequently and many state that they don’t know how they managed to do their work before they had it.

• Query Builder
soapUI Pro provides functionality to create complex Database Queries without deep SQL skills. This lowers the
threshold for anyone who wants to start testing and makes life easier for more experienced testers.

World Class Support

soapUI Pro is not only software, we also include World Class Support in the yearly license fee. When you buy
soapUI Pro what you see truly is what you get; there are no extra support fees, neither initial nor when you use the sup-
port. The support is available both on our soapUI Pro exclusive forum or via e-mail.
