soapUI as a server application

Not sure if this has been covered somewhere before, but it would be great to have the functionality of soapUI available as a server application with a web interface.

It would be great to have the ability to define projects and test cases centrally on a server, and then schedule e.g. nightly runs, so that whole processes can be tested in batch, and you can see what is broken from reports.

It would also avoid the need to have to share ever-changing soapUI project files with colleagues ;-)

    You need SVN (or similar) and Jenkins (or similar).

    I think you have somehow missed the point of my suggestion, or maybe I have not explained myself well.

    The suggestion is to make a server application out of soapUI, as an alternative to the desktop app i.e. instead of running it on the desktop, you would install it on a server and access it through a web interface.

    The functionality would remain the same, i.e. you have projects where you add service definitions and test cases and execute them. The projects could reside as XML files on the server or even in a database.

    It would allow users to collaboratively edit projects, define test cases etc. In addition, you could add functionality such as the scheduling of tests.

    (Yes, versioning of projects would be a neat idea too, though arguably you don't need SVN for that - nor Jenkins ;-) )
