    What kind of of website is developed, and what is intended to test, can it be little specific. That will help more better for provide you inputs.

    Thanx for your reply sir. Actually we are developing websites for college maintanence. For functional testing I would like to use SoapUI. There is no wsdl file in this project and we didn't use SOAP. Please go through the attachment.

    Are you able to proceed or still having trouble?

    Yes sir, I have seen that. In which, they have not explained how to write test cases for login and logout.
  • Web (site) recording functionality is pretty basic in SoapUI. It does not record session state, keystrokes, clicks, POST traffic, etc. It basically records your HTTP requests.

    To do the website testing in SoapUI you would have to do quite a bit of configuration (Maintain HTTP Session/Mimic login via HTTP request), but it's not that trivial.
    SoapUI is more for API and web service testing and I can't say I've ever seen it used solely for web site testing.

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for your reply. we are developing college maintanance websites using joomla and the technologies we using are php, html, javascripts. we are not using xml and soap. can we test our web application using soapui and loadui?
