SoapUI NG Pro and a Large Test Suite
Over the last few months I've been working as a software tester for a variety of different webservices. This is new to me, and I've been learning a lot of the In's and Out's of SoapUI. I'm currently ...

Yes ! I have gone through this experience, where my project file would cost around 70 MB of size with my total testcases count to 250 test cases, with each having 200 test steps as an average. I had solved this problem by few of these solutions,
1) Since my ultimate goal is data driven testing, I separated the data and the testable method and had the dat in external excel sheet and then retained just the necessary method inside SoapUI project file. This gave me an output of just 3 MB project file and with some set of external excel sheets. The time taken to load the SoapUI project has been ideally reduced.
2) Another method is divide and conquer, without following the data driven approach. I would possibly split my project as 5*50 test cases to result 250 test cases, by grouping them based on common flows. This even reduced and some how stopped this problem.
Finally, I would prefer you to follow the solution 1 which really gave an awesome result.

The approaches are good. 200 steps(over-exaggerated) in a case?
@nmrao: The approaches are good. 200 steps(over-exaggerated) in a case?
Yes, it is is little large! But, it is very small when I compare to the test case which even test for 200000 test data. A data intensive test case though.:smileyhappy:

Oh! You are talking about 200 test data with 250 test cases, but not the number of test steps in a case.
That what I was wondering, is that even possible to follow for some one to do the test manually.
Confused with text in the explanation of the first reply.
Data can have any volume.
When you say 200k, does m/s excel allow that many rows?Yes, Excel allows that limit! In this cases I even divide and conquer the test data part to to the huge volume! To frankly say we can limit any test case with maximum count of 40 test steps as an optimal coverage and we might need to design the test case in such manner to not exceed the limit.
BTW.,sorry for the confusion.!
