Can I perform assert with the free edition?
I am using SoapUI 5.1.2. I am testing the behaviour of a RESTful web service that I have developed. I have a set of test steps, each firing a request at the service. I know what the values should...

Thanks, but most of this is over my head, I am afraid.
I have tried followingthe various suggestions. There seem to be good guidelines and principles but nothing concrete that I can follow. As soon as an example gets to the "Click this icon and choose Assertion" type of step, the icon or button or context menu option described inconveniently is not available in my edition of SoapUI.
I wish a SmartBear person could just provide some concrete instructions or simply put me out of my misery and confusion by confirming tat this feature is not available in the free product.
Going thru this thread.
soapui.org has both free version and commertial version documentation, usually it is mentioned if the perticular info is specific to commercial version.
On the community questions, we often see users saying, they are new, need help. Otherwise, some provide information for specific case and seeking help to proceed. Generally when people start using a tool, most of the stuff not clearly understand, but people keep trying in order to be able to achieve what they are looking for or tasks to be finished. I am no exception when started with sopaui, some times wait for solutions or do more search on the net. But never lose hope.
Just I was watching video after reading this thread, there are two feature from pro version. But both can be achieved in the free version as Rup had suggested already which requires some programming skills and which is a bit difficult for testers and fortunately, you seemed to be a developer (from description).
Find this page on how to add assertions

and how to structure tests
http://www.soapui.org/functional-testing/structuring-and-running-tests.html (this is more important for automation)
Data driven tests with free edition
Hope this is useful and if you have specific questions feel free to create a topic.
And I wanted to let you know that there are large number of users for free version too
