Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS).

Postman can simplify how to make APIs, and Sauce Labs is like this program, but it uses cloud computing. Postman and Sauce Labs are two great alternatives to Soapui. Where can you run this program?Ĭomputers using Windows, Mac, or a Linux operating system, can run this application. Finally, you need to buy the premium version if your working on a group project to allow people to collaborate. The user interface also takes some getting used to, because of how complex it is. For simple tests, it's tedious to set up all the different parameters. This program, although excellent at what it does has some flaws. Another cool feature of this program is that it categorizes testing results based on if it was testing a REST or a SOA. This program is updated regularly and results from these tests save to your server, allowing you to look at how the programs are evolving. When SoapUI tests either an SOA or a REST it looks at functionality, does a general evaluation and increases the efficiency of what is being tested. In layman's terms, REST is the rules that are used for creating a web service. REST is Representational State Transfers. A type of software design where services are provided to other components in a network, using system protocols, to communicate what services need to be performed and where. SoapUI is an online testing program used on SOA and REST. When SoapUI tests either an SOA or a REST it's looking at functionality, doing a general evaluation and how to increase the overall efficiency of what is being tested.
