The main use case of SoapUI is for API testing. We use SoapUI for API testing when we want to perform a performance test of our services that we have built. We use it when we have a lot of test cases to execute because SoapUI allows us to create many test cases. We can run them in parallel or in sequential order. We can design the regression test case suite in SoapUI.
I have been working as a software development engineer for five years and have been using SoapUI for almost five years. We were working with REST APIs, and although there are other tools available such as ReadyAPI and Postman, we did not evaluate them extensively. SoapUI is used for testing of REST API calls, including GET, PUT, and POST methods. We would send these calls a structure using SoapUI. SoapUI was mainly used for API testing. We were specially validating most of the time with REST APIs and SOAP services. SOAP services were developed, then deployed, and we used REST for validating that our API was working properly. For example, in one of our projects, we had a set of payment APIs where we needed to verify different scenarios. We tested whether success responses were coming through, whether it was successful or not, and if it was a failure, we investigated the cases of failures and why they had failed. We also tested some edge cases and rare scenarios where cases were developed but were not giving an output. This indicated that somewhere in the code something was written incorrectly. We used SoapUI for creating test requests and adding assertions for validation of responses. We then organized them into a test suite, which was a kind of folder where we could keep multiple requests. All of our test cases were stored in one test suite. On a day-to-day basis, we were using many test suites. For example, we had a project related to a person's patient information, another for personal wallet information, and another for a person's online account information. We had many more examples as well. Once everything was developed and deployed, we were able to quickly test it in SoapUI. We were sending requests with different inputs and checking if the responses matched expected results. One thing that really helped was the automation. Instead of manually testing the same API again and again, we created reusable test cases, which saved us time during regression testing. The suite allowed us to simply press run, and it would tell us that out of ten test cases, three passed, four failed, and the remaining did not give a result. In SoapUI, we also had an option to run tests in parallel or in sequence. We could choose how we wanted to run the tests, which was really useful for us and was one of the main use cases for using SoapUI as a tool. We were able to use a test suite where we could give a certain request. If there were five requests, we could choose to run them in parallel or sequential running, which was also one of the valuable options.
API Testing Tools are essential in verifying the functionality, reliability, performance, and security of application programming interfaces. They enable developers and testers to ensure seamless integration and interaction between different software components.These tools simulate API requests, validate responses, and help identify bugs early in the development cycle. By automating API tests, they enhance efficiency and accuracy, reducing the manual effort required while providing...

We use the solution mainly for API testing.
I use the solution for API testing when some of our clients give us the API payload for SoapUI projects.
I use the product to access the browser whenever it is required.
