    Hi Rajasekhar,

     

    This is an interesting question and topic, but also quite an open one! Rather than try to say yes / no in broad terms, to help narrow things, given the principles of Microservices:


    Principle 1 - Modelled Around Business Domain

    Principle 2 - Culture Of Automation

    Principle 3 - Hide Implementation Details

    Principle 4 - Decentralize All The Things

    Principle 5 - Deploy Independently

    Principle 6 - Consumer First

    Principle 7 - Isolate Failure

    Principle 8 - Highly Observable

     

    Are there any principles in particular that you would like to test? As I understand, in client test terms, a microservice is often like a lot of other REST services, which SoapUI has good support for testing. Is there any particular interface test needs that you have in mind?

     

    One of the things that keeps people using SoapUI for a whole range of API test use cases (despite the name containing the word SOAP!) is the flexibility and extensibility of the tool e.g. the ability to improvise using scripting to plug any gaps in UI based functionality.
