VSTS Extension — SoapUI Testing

SoapUI

SoapUI is the world’s leading functional testing tool for SOAP and REST testing. With its easy-to-use graphical interface and enterprise-class features, SoapUI allows you to easily and rapidly create and execute automated functional, regression, and load tests. In a single test environment, SoapUI provides complete test coverage, from SOAP and REST-based web services to JMS enterprise messaging layers, databases, Rich Internet Applications, and much more.
