Can interface definitions be shared between projects?

Hi,

i have a situation where i have several projects to test my application. Each project contains different test suites, but they all share the same interfaces.

Is there a way to share the same interface definitions between projects?

Or, to be able to put interfaces into a sub-folder in the project would help a bit too.

Putting all tests into one project is not what i want to do, it would become too big, and the structure offered by SoapUI (2 levels - testsuite, testcase) is not sufficient to model the situation i have.

Thanks,
Silvestr

    Hi Silvestr,

    Unfortunately, that's not possible. A project needs to have its own interface to be able to send requests to it. If I may ask, what is the reason for you wanting to avoid having everything in one project?

    Hi,

    i have system that is deployed with different configuration for different customers.

    For each customer, i have regression tests (cca 30-50 test suites).

    Interfaces for all these projects are the same, so when a change occurs in the interface, i need to update it in all projects, and it is getting cumbersome when i have 10+ projects.

    I was thinking that maybe if interfaces could be in a sub-folder, i could just copy this sub-folder between the projects. Or i could use versioning system to handle the sharing.
