What is SoapUI?

SoapUI is a testing platform designed for validating web services and APIs. It allows you to create functional tests, execute them against your services, and debug issues when tests fail. The tool generates detailed reports that help you track regression testing and verify compliance with requirements. SoapUI works with SOAP and REST APIs, making it useful for teams that need to ensure their web services behave correctly before deployment. It's particularly valuable if you're testing complex integrations or need to maintain test coverage across multiple API versions.
