Are SOAP UI test cases thread safe?
I am planning to have multiple threads execute a SOAP UI test case from within a groovy script step. No two threads will try to access/execute the same test step at the same time. But more than on te...

I am aware of running test cases in parallel. However, I am hearing this kind of request for the first time.
I believe that it may not be a valid case for concurrency, becuase, steps are required to run in sequential.
If you think steps are runnable concurrently, then those steps need not to be in a test case, rather can be come different test cases, so that they can be run in parallel.
I agree that this use of SOAP UI is unconventional. We do the test step execution and sequencing from a a groovy test step. We read an excel spreadsheet and we execute tests based on the data we read in from the excel.
Hi,
Have you considered using a load test to execute your TestCase (and therefore its TestSteps) in parallel?
When a load test runs a TestCase you can setup multiple multiple threads, SoapUI creates a clone of the TestCase (and Steps) and is thread-safe from that respect. However if your TestCase updates any properties in higher level or shared objects, like TestSuites / Projects etc, then it is possible to see concurrency issues.
