Hi,
&nbsp;
Thanks for mentioning my blog&nbsp;nmrao, but I don't think I have created&nbsp;any posts related to this issue?
&nbsp;
On the other hand, I do run SoapUI on a Mac most of the time and I have only ever had crash/hangs when running security tests - seemed to be memory related, I think I upped the Xmx allocation.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
I am happy to compare specs in case that helps. I have two macbook pro laptops, the current one I'm using is:
&nbsp;
&nbsp; Model Name: MacBook Pro
&nbsp; Model Identifier: MacBookPro11,3
&nbsp; Processor Name: Intel Core i7
&nbsp; Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz
&nbsp; Number of Processors: 1
&nbsp; Total Number of Cores: 4
&nbsp; L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
&nbsp; L3 Cache: 6 MB
&nbsp; Memory: 16 GB
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
I also have an older 2009 Mac book pro (8Gb, core duo, whith el capitan running on it)
&nbsp;
SoapUI 5.2.1 (standard settings) and as a developer&nbsp;SoapUI 5.2.2-SNAPSHOT (i run it with maven)
&nbsp;
JDK&nbsp;1.7.0_79
&nbsp;
Hope this helps,
Rupert

rupert_anderson, I remember there was a thread related this sometime ago.Just searched for the same now, and referring the below one, which was around the same problem, I guess.https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/Failed-to-load-class-quot-org-slf4j-impl-StaticLoggerBinder-quot/m-p/115540/highlight/true#M19964
&nbsp;
Also found another thread around the same error from existing topics :

Hi Rao,
&nbsp;
Oh, now I see what you mean! Sorry! I really only considered the initial post and crash / mac parts!
&nbsp;
As for the&nbsp;SLF4J: Failed to load class “org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder, this isn't necessarily that serious in crash terms, it just results in the potential for some lost log messages - it is covered in my blog post at:

Thanks,
