SmartBear Releases SoapUI Pro 2.5
September 17, 2018

SmartBear announced the release of SoapUI Pro 2.5, the latest update of the testing platform for REST and SOAP APIs. This release includes the addition of native Docker support, expanded automated test creation, and several native integrations with leading Continuous Integration (CI) servers like Jenkins, TeamCity, and VSTS.

SoapUI Pro can now be easily run inside Docker containers to assist in executing and running of functional and security API tests in parallel. API testing continues to be one of the key ways in which developers and testers can receive instant feedback as they integrate new code and features. This allows businesses to maximize growth and innovation as they deliver value to their customers more quickly than ever.

“Docker has gained popularity and mainstream adoption due to how it enables teams to develop and test applications faster and at scale,” said Christian Wright, EVP and GM, API Business at SmartBear. “With this latest release of SoapUI Pro, we are making it seamless for our customers to integrate API testing into the Docker ecosystem, so they can accelerate their continuous delivery efforts while ensuring they ship the highest quality APIs.”

Alongside support for Docker, SoapUI Pro 2.5 has expanded its broad list of native integrations with tools in the DevOps ecosystem, including VSTS, TeamCity, Jenkins, and Slack. As continuous testing practices increase in the market, the prevalence of CI platforms orchestrating tasks such as packaging, testing, and alerting has also grown. With the SoapUI Pro 2.5 release, SmartBear has made it easy for teams of any technical background to seamlessly implement API testing in their favorite CI/CD pipeline for faster, continuous feedback. Additionally, the company’s new Slack integration allows teams of all sizes to quickly get alerted on test results.

Users can find SoapUI Pro in Docker Hub’s plugin repository, right alongside critical development and operations tools like Redis, Jenkins, and ServiceV Pro, the service virtualization tool from SmartBear.
