SoapUI: One Key to All Doors
summary
SoapUI Free is presented as a lightweight way to design REST integration tests, store them as editable XML in Git, and run them headlessly with the ConsoleRunner to avoid becoming a release bottleneck. It supports data-driven testing via global properties, reusable logic through Groovy scripts, and CI integration with Jenkins or TestNG reporting to catch real defects (example: a 500 error) without needing a full Java test framework.
