SoapUI server version

[SWTester]

Hi everyone,

as i am new with SoapUI i have got some silly questions but i would like to take ur few precious moment to remove my stupidity. For now just 1 question to shoot out to u guys out there.

Is it possible to run SoapUI on servers? I heard from a colleague that there are no SoapUI SW suitable for installing on server and accessing it remotely from a PC

thank you

Hi,

Thats not a silly question, but I think in the context you're talking about (multiple users/clients working on a shared server install of SoapUI) its not how it currently works - it is something I wondered about trying to code though e.g. making a web ui ... 

SoapUI, in terms of project creation, is designed to be a local desktop application.

However:

• Once a project is created, it can be excuted remotely using scripts possibly across multiple servers e.g. in the context of continuous integration.
• Also muliple users (with seperate local installs of SoapUI) sometimes collaborate on a shared server based project (often stored under source control), composite projects can help avoid contention here.

Hope that helps,

Rupert

Thank you very much for understanding my explanation ia correct way and answering my question.

Unfortunately i could not understand the "However" situations u had explained. The reason is because of the limitation of my tecnical knowledge about SoapUI but will learn about it soon 🙂 🙂

thank u once again for quick & crisp reply

Thanks for the polite feedback - you're very welcome, I'm happy to help where I can! 🙂

If you need me to elaborate on any of the answer or provide other more foundational knowledge, then please just ask?

Assuming the information is reasonably within my grasp and I get the time to answer, I will surely try to help!

Cheers,

Rup

As you are here, I believe that you might know about the SoapUI software and hopefully you started using it.

This tool is used to test our applications which are using based on API's like soap, rest, jdbc.

You can create project and use it when ever you need to test the application. The SoapUI software is installed on our desktop, laptop etc.

Another use case is that some one wanted to run the automated tests which may lasts for couple of hours and don't want to run it on some machine which is in data centre or in a lab instead of running from our desktop etc. I believe you were referring to this in your question. This is helpful for organization to achieve continuous integration for their mission critical applications.
Again like to clarify that there isn't any thing called server for SopaUI.
