What's new in soapUI 5.7.2

Nov 8, 2023
  • Fixed a vulnerability related to ZipSlip attack(Path Traversal) and made some updates by removing references to previous State of Software Quality API surveys.

New in soapUI 5.7.1 (Aug 1, 2023)

  • Fixed bugs:
  • Fixed an issue where SoapUI version 5.6.0 and 5.7.0 would not install or open on certain machines including Mac OS Ventura. There were issues with an expired Apple Certificate and previous bundled JRE environment. We have signed the new version with updated Apple Certificate and also updated the bundled JRE environment to Liberica version 16.0.2+7. These updates which resolves this issue for Mac users and the application now installs properly. Windows and Linux versions also received updates to the bundled JRE environment.

New in soapUI 5.7.0 (Jan 13, 2022)

  • GraphQL Support:
  • Now you can test GraphQL services. To do this, use the new GraphQL Request test step. To learn more, see GraphQL Testing.
  • Docker support:
  • SmartBear introduces a pre-configured Docker image, so now you can run SoapUI functional tests in isolated Docker containers.
  • Built-in OpenAPI (Swagger) support
  • Now, to work with OpenAPI/Swagger definitions, you do not need to use plugins. SoapUI supports it out-of-the-box. Additionally, we've improved integrations with SwaggerHub to make it even more convenient.
  • Overall improvements:
  • Support for OpenJDK 16.
  • Now, SoapUI opens a response editor that matches the response content type. For example, it opens JSON editor if response has JSON content.
  • We've updated a number of third-party libraries, including the following:
  • Apache Log4j library to 2.17.1.
  • Jayway jsonpath to 2.4.0.
  • Now, SoapUI Open Source stores log files to the <User Directory>/.soapuios/logs directory. Previously, they were stored in the SoapUI installation directory, which could cause issues on Windows computers.
  • A new feature by modax: Now, you can run SoapUI Open Source build from the Travis-CI.
  • Fixed bugs:
  • When proxy is set to None, usage of the ProxySelector class leads to the NullPointerException.
  • The value of the Start Step property of the SOAP Mock Response could reset to the default value in some cases.
  • A bug fix by stevendjames: When you used Query/Match filter in the SOAP Mock Response test step, the ClassCastException could occur.
  • A bug fix by MagnoCorrea: Names of the exported WSDL definitions with schema references could be too long. Now, such names are shorter and easier to work with.
  • A bug fix by stevann7: REST mock services did not show details of the message when you double-click it in the Message Log panel.
  • A bug fix by modax: In some cases, when you assigned a new endpoint to requests with the specific endpoint in the Service Endpoints panel, SoapUI did not apply it.
  • A bug fix by clynton: The NullPointerException could occur if you did not add the runBeforeSteps event listener to the project.

New in soapUI 5.6.1 (Dec 20, 2021)

  • Overall Improvements:
  • Support for openJDK 12.
  • Updated third-party libraries (org.apache.httpcomponents, commons-logging, commons-codec, and junit).
  • Removed unused third-party libraries (Jackson, KeenIO).
  • The ability of SoapUI to load plugins that are not signed by SmartBear.
  • Better security. SoapUI now disables the Load and Save project scripts by default.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Now plugins are loaded once during SoapUI launch. Previously they were loaded twice.

New in soapUI 5.5.0 (Feb 12, 2019)

  • Overall Improvements:
  • SoapUI 5.5 introduces the Endpoint Explorer dialog. Use it to send exploratory requests and analyze responses without creating a project.
  • SoapUI now supports extended HTTP methods: PROPFIND, LOCK, UNLOCK, COPY, PURGE.
  • Now, if you try to open a project created in a later SoapUI version or in ReadyAPI, SoapUI will notify you about this.
  • SoapUI now requires Java 8 update 112 or higher.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • An invalid name was set for a custom test step.
  • A bug fix by modax: WS-Security did not support Strict Layout Rules.
  • A bug fix by xgcssch: When a refresh token was used to update an OAuth 2.0 access token, the refresh token was not updated.
  • A bug fix by arykov: Symlinks to soapui.sh did not work.

New in soapUI 5.4.0 (Dec 4, 2017)

  • Overall Improvements:
  • SoapUI 5.4 uses Apache Commons Collections library version 3.2.2 that fixes a security vulnerability.
  • SoapUI now uses Java 1.8.
  • An improvement by DonnyDepp: The window borders are now thicker, so it is easier to resize windows by dragging their borders.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • A bug fix by vimil: When a response returned redirect status codes, SoapUI always simulated a GET request to the new address. Now, if the initial request uses the POST method, SoapUI simulates a POST request.
  • Discontinued Support:
  • LoadUI integration has been removed from SoapUI. To create and run advanced load tests, use LoadUI Pro, which is part of the ReadyAPI application suite.

New in soapUI 5.3.0 (Jun 27, 2017)

  • The SLA assertion did not support property expansions. (SOAPUIOS-195)
  • It was impossible to send requests to a secured web service through a proxy server. The simulated requests did not contain the proxy user credentials. (SOAPUIOS-196, SOAPUIOS-199)

  • More efficient memory usage. (SOAPUIOS-154)
  • A new feature by Stanislaw Wozniak (a GitHub user with the nickname sponte): The test runner has a new setting that commands SoapUI to export test case properties to JUnit-style reports. You can find the new “Export JUnit Results with test properties” check box on the Reports tab of the dialog, in which you specify the test runner's properties before the run. To enable this functionality from the command line, use the new -J command-line argument. (SOAPUIOS-156)
  • A bug fix by Marc Paquette (marcpa00 in GitHub): Earlier versions of SoapUI doubled messages sent to the console log from Groovy code. Marc has fixed this. (SOAPUIOS-157)
