SoapUI

A niche corner of the archive that gets a surprising amount of search traffic, presumably because SOAP is still very much alive inside banks and there is not much written about it.

Two of these are workarounds for the licence line: only SoapUI Pro binds data sources, so a short Groovy script reads a text file and fires the same request a few hundred times with different IDs. Two are bugs worth knowing about — authorization settings that keep being applied to a request after you switch them off, quietly breaking it, reproduced on 5.2.1 and 5.4.0; and proxy settings that do not survive an HTTPS request through a corporate proxy, which Fiddler makes visible.

The newest post is the one that ties it to everything else here: running those suites automatically as an Argo CD PostSync hook, in a custom TestRunner image, one Kubernetes Job per deploy.
