SoapUI is an open-source cross-platform development testing tool for intuitive and comprehensive testing of SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and REST (Representational State Transfer) web protocols.

Built from the ground up to facilitate a wide array of a different test, SoapUI can provide web and networking developers a great deal of insight into the functionality of their apps and services.

By taking advantage of Soap UI and its tools for managing and validating exercises and tests, developers can optimize their websites, live services, and cloud applications to handle all types of situations that can happen on the web, including both on the front-end part (the part that is facing the consumers) and the back end of the protocol.

This includes support for testing security, loading, transfer needs, load balancing, and much more.

SoapUI is open to all kinds of software technologies that modern developers tackle in their regular workloads, including REST, SOAP, AMF, HTTP, JDBC, and others, who are able to handle services and tasks that are designed with the use of PHP, NET, J2EE, PERL, and others.

This comprehensive support was achieved with the help and suggestions from countless developers who contributed to the development of this successful open-source project over the years.

Used by several million developers from all around the world, This tool is today regarded as one of the most widely available API test tools in existence.
