Starting with the features and functionalities of SoapUI, the book will then focus on functional testing, load testing, and security testing of web services. Furthermore, you will learn how to automate your services and then design data-driven, keyword-driven, and hybrid-driven frameworks in SoapUI. Then the book will show you how to test UIs and services using SoapUI with the help of Selenium. You will also learn how to integrate SoapUI with Jenkins for CI and SoapUI test with QC with backward- and forward-compatibility. The final part of the book will show you how to virtualize a service response in SoapUI using Service Mocking.
You will finish the journey by discovering the best practices for SoapUI test automation and preparing yourself for the online certification of SoapUI.

Chapter 1. Introduction to SOA Testing
With the increase in implementation of service-oriented architecture (SOA), architecture across applications leads to various technological and business advantages to the organizations implementing it.
But as it's said; There are two sides to every coin, with SOA architecture came advantages such as the following:
But there are also disadvantages:
In this chapter we will study the following topics:
Well, let's talk about a few of the advantages of SOA architecture:
But the most widely used and open source tool in the SOA testing arena is SoapUI. Following is a comparative analysis of the most famous tools in the Web service testing & test automation arena.

As we can see by the preceding comparison metrics, Ease of use, Learning curve, and Cost play a major role in selection of a tool for any project. So to learn ITKO LISA or SOA Parasoft, there is very limited, or no, material available on the Internet. To get resources trained you need to go to the owners of these tools and pay extra and then pay more if you need the training a second time.
This gives additional advantages to SoapUI and SoapUI Pro to be the first choice for Test Architects and Test Managers for their projects.
Now let's talk about the closely related brothers in this subset; SoapUI & SoapUI Pro are from the same family, Eviware, which is now SmartBear. However, SoapUI Pro has an enriched functionality and GUI which have additional functionalities to help reduce the time for testing, justifying its cost as compared to SoapUI open source.
Here is a quick comparison:
