Hi,

 

My approach to that would be to run SoapUI via a script e.g.

  • Grade
  • Maven
  • testrunner.sh/bat

And use some form of scheduler / CI tool e.g.

  • Jenkins
  • Team City
  • cron job (if run from a unix server)

It's a common use case for SoapUI. I would not try to script anything from within SoapUI e.g. delay step and loop, although this could conceivably work too.

 

Regards,

Rupert

Second to Rupert's Idea. I believe that it is possible to schedule jobs on both linux and windows platforms. Nothing specially required to do in the soapui project. This is basically operational / execution part.
