    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

      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 :) :)

        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!
