The eviware team has released soapUI 3, the Reporting Release.

With soapUI 3.0 we introduce an extensive framework for creating and producing test reports in soapUI.

soapUI 3.0 New Features

Major new features

1. Reporting
   In soapUI 3.0 we introduce a framework for creating reports in soapUI. With the framework come a number of pre-configured reports for your tests which allows you to save test results and test metrics. soapUI reports can be saved as
   
   
   • PDF, HTML, WORD, Excel through JasperReports
   • XML or CSV Data Export
   • JUnit Style reports as previously available
     
     
2. REST improvements
   We build on the success of 2.5- the REST Release by improving it:
   
   
   • Inferred schemas - For schema-less services soapUI can automatically generate an XML Schema for you from gathered response content (including non-xml responses that are converted to xml by soapUI, for example JSON)
   • Improved REST model - soapUI now models REST methods as separate items in the soapUI Object Model (old projects are automatically converted to new ones)
   • WADL Spec update - WADL support has been updated to be in line with the latest specification draft
   • WADL Coverage * - WSDL Coverage calculation has now been extended to also support WADL; get coverage information for your REST resources, methods, parameters and XML representations
   • Added support for OPTIONS and TRACE methods
   
   
   
3. Data Connection Improvements
   We have made it easier to connect your tests to a DataSource by letting you configure your Project DataSources and by improving data selection in our JDBC Wizards
   
   
4. Javascript support
   soapUI scripting now supports JavaScript as an addition to earlier Groovy support.
   
   
5. Event Handling (beta2)
   A powerful extension mechanism for customizing test and request behaviour
   
   
6. WS-ReliableMessaging
   soapUI now support WS-ReliableMessaging (versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2) both on a request and TestCase level
   
   
7. WS-I bundling
   WS-I tools for interoperability testing is now included in the soapUI Installation in order to encourage Interoperability Testing
   
   
8. Mac and Linux installers
   We have added installers for Mac and Linux and updated the windows installer.
   
   
9. Improved Browser Component
   soapUI now bundles a much improved XULRrunner based browser component, allowing much improved integrated viewing of HTML and REST responses, including Flash, SVG, Images, and more
10. Project runner in UI
    It is now possible to run and reorder TestSuites from within soapUI (in the Project Window), including setup/tearDown scripts on the Project Level
11. Fixed-Rate LoadTest Strategy
    Load Strategy for sending requests or TestCases in a fixed rate, regardless of how long the corresponding execution takes.

API Changes

There have been some major refactoring to the testrunner related classes and listeners, mostly backwards compatible, but if you run into issues let us know and we'll see if we can provide a solution Notable changes are:

• New TestSuiteRunListener and ProjectRunListener interfaces for listening to related events
• Possibility to set attachment content from script (FileAttachment.setData( byte [] data )
• testRunner.runTestStepByName( ... ) runs the specified TestStep directly and logs its results
