Important features of soapUI:

1. Functional Testing.
2. Security Testing.
3. Load Testing.
4. Protocols and Technologies.

Which protocols and technology does SoapUI supports?

SoapUI supports a wide range of protocols and technologies, as shown in the following diagram:

SoapUI integrated very well with popular tools

Apache-Ant, a Java library which is a command-line tool that helps in building software. Using SOAP UI’s Command line, we can execute tests within an ANT Automated Build.

Now I am going to use SoapUI for simple calculator project:

I am using calculator WSDL file as an example.

1. In the first step, want to open the SoapUI, then click on soap, paste the WSDL file and give the project name, then click on OK.

2) Calculator project is created in SoapUI.

3)click on Add. Request 1 appears.

4)Question mark symbol appears(?). Where we must enter the numbers for Adding.

5)After giving the numbers for addition,click on play button on the right hand side window.

6)Finally click on the XML to get to the result.

In these way,we can use soapUI for all the arithmetic operations.
