Could soapUI be the way to mock complex webservices?

Posted on by

I have been looking for a good way to mock a complex web-service for integration testing. The idea being to simulate responses intelligently and be able to test a round trip without the actual service. Full integration tests are not possible for various reasons, so this might be the next best thing.

The tests against the service should return with configurable and adaptable behavior. They should be quick to run, easy to understand and simple to develop. This might be a solution:

Has anyone used this or something similar? Comments welcome.

  1. Hi Martin,

    We at eviware certainly want soapUI to be exactly what you need for mocking complex web services, so if it doesn’t fit your bill please let us know why so we can see how to meet up better :-)

    Good Luck!
