Welcome to soapUI 1.6!
Welcome to soapUI 1.6! We are happy to finally release this version with several key improvements
to soapUI functionality.
Final release Improvements
soapUI 1.6 final introduces a large number of fixes and many minor improvements which have been
accumulated during the snapshot releases during the last months. Some highlights are :
- Added exclusion list to proxy settings (comma-sepaerated)
- Added 2 context properties available when load-testing:
- ThreadIndex - the index of the created thread... this value will never change for a given TestCase during its run time..
New threads will simply get an incremented index... the mod of this value could for example be used as an index into a data-file
(to handle changes in number of threads)
- RunCount - tells how many times the TestCase has been run by its thread (not in total) during the current LoadTest
- Added initial support for unzipping gzipped response messages, ie messages with a Content-Type or Content-Encoding ending with "gzip".
Thanks to Diego Banda.
- Added request-level property to inline attachment content in response editor (as in soapUI 1.5), see
forum discussion
- Improved saving of projects to not corrupt files on out-of-memory (saving now first saves to an in-memory buffer
which is written to file if no errors occur..)
- Fixed validation of derived types in xml-editors
- Fixed automatic adding of TestStep Status assertion to newly created loadtests, see
forum discussion
- Added option to ignore case in Contains/NotContains assertions
- Improved support for automatic validation by adding an option to not send invalid requests (see
Feature Request)
- Added support for automatic validation of request/response messages in editors (see
Feature Request),
thanks to Michael Vorburger! ("Preferences / UI Settings / Validate Request / Response")
- Added support for generating rpc-parts for attachments ("Preferences / WSDL Settings / Attachment Parts")
- Added [Tools] button which open "Preferences / Integrated Tools" for setting tool paths
- General dialog improvements; Escape closes and F1 shows online help if available
- Fixed validation of SOAP mustUnderstand/encodingStyle attributes in entire messages, see
forum discussion
- Added possibility to edit response message and revalidate with Alt-V (including assertions), see
forum discussion
- Added possibility for custom background image in desktop. Just place a soapui-background.gif/jpg/png in the
soapUI bin directory (at last :-), Thanks to Roger Sundberg
- Added option to open TestCase editor when adding requests to a TestCase
- Updated to commons-ssl-0.3.0.jar
- Fixed caching of attachments to now be saved in the soapui-project file (compressed).. this makes
portability of soapui-projects with attachments much simpler... The attachment-folder setting has been
removed.
- Fixed property-expansion when running xpath-assertions and property-transfers from within their
editors.
- Fixes password-input fields to be masked
See the snapshot document for all fixes..
