    As far as I know there is no out-of-the box setting which you could simply use. You can use the following workaround:

     

    Set a SetUp script for your test suite:

    testSuite.setPropertyValue("TestSuiteResult", "OK")

     

    For each of your test cases within the suite set a:

    - SetUp script: 

    assert (testCase.testSuite.getPropertyValue("TestSuiteResult") != "FAILED")

    - TearDown script:

    if (testRunner.getStatus().toString() == "FAILED") {
  testCase.testSuite.setPropertyValue("TestSuiteResult", "FAILED")
}

    These scripts stop the execution of the next test case if one test case fails.

     

    For each of your test cases also switch on the option "Abort On Error". You can do that in a test case editor. The test case will stop with a first test step failure.

     

    Just a comment:

    A test suite has a method setAbortOnError(bolean) in the SoapUI API, however if you set this property to true, it does not prevent execution of the next test case if a test case fails.

It appears that there is dependency between the tests. It is good practice that each test should be independent of others.
What is the problem if the following tests run, let them fail.
