SoapUI is an open-source testing tool for SOAP and REST APIs. It supports functional testing, load and security testing, and mock services for API development and integration testing. GUI and scripting capabilities enable automated test runs in CI/CD pipelines and help teams detect regressions and ensure API quality.

SoapUI is a tool for functional and automated testing of SOAP and REST interfaces.
SoapUI was started in 2005 by Ole Lensmar and Henrik Carlsson; SmartBear acquired Eviware in 2011 and continues SoapUI and ReadyAPI.
A project describes endpoints, requests, and assertions. Test steps chain into scenarios; mock services simulate peers, Groovy extends logic, and data sources enable parameterized runs.
A request sends a defined SOAP or REST call to an endpoint.
Assertions check status, schema, content, or business expectations.
A mock simulates an interface for isolated and early integration tests.
SoapUI fits API contracts, regression, and integration checks. Test data, authentication, side effects, mocks versus real systems, and separation of functional and load tests need deliberate design.
