SoapUI is an open source web service testing application for service-oriented architectures (SOA). Its functionality covers web service inspection, invoking, development, simulation and mocking, functional testing, load and compliance testing. A commercial version, SoapUI Pro, which mainly focuses on features designed to enhance productivity, was also developed by eviware software. In 2011, SmartBear Software acquired eviware.[2]

SoapUI was initially released to Sourceforge in September 2005. It is free software, licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License. Since the initial release, SoapUI has been downloaded more than 2,000,000 times.[3] It is built entirely on the Java platform and uses Swing for the user interface. This means that SoapUI is cross-platform. Today, SoapUI also supports IDEA, Eclipse and NetBeans.[4] [5]
