Maximo Integration Testing using SOAPUI Tool

In almost all the Maximo projects, we do have interfaces created to external systems by different protocols, we test them on regular basis after each fix or releases to ensure there is no failure on the integration.

SOAPUI is open source tool that is used to test WebService or WebAPI Testing. It can test protocols such as SOAP over http/jms, REST.

We can extend this tool to automate the Maximo Integrations. It offers components to send/receive messages, delays, transfer properties and groovy script [similar to python] knowledge is needed to get started.

You can refer to a  sample project that I have created for OOB Maximo scenario.
